Guided by Indigenous cultures and knowledge, community youth will learn about environmental science through land-based teachings. These land-based camps will provide exciting opportunities to increase youth’s awareness and skills about science and the natural world.
Learn from Elders, environmental scientists, and Indigenous scholars in a hands-on and applied way.
This is an opportunity to learn about the science of local environments: in water, plants, fish, wildlife, and human relationships with their environment.
We will work with educational leaders, teachers, harvesters, and Elders within a community context to identify local priorities regarding the environment to develop two-day or five-day land-based camps reflecting these priorities.
As part of the Kis Kin Ha Ma Ki Win (“learning” in Cree) initiative, five-day and two-day camps, along with one-day workshops, will be held in collaboration with interested communities. We will provide youth with opportunities to learn about science in localized and applied contexts through hands-on learning, problem-solving, and skill development. Science skills gained will include water testing, sampling for medicines, fish and wildlife, as well as the collection and analysis of environmental data.
All camps will provide a holistic overview of the priorities and issues relevant to your community with a focus on the local environment, scientific approaches, and traditional knowledge.
