Environmental Education Program
The Sierra Club of Canada - Atlantic Canada Chapter (SCC-ACC) Environmental Education Program will be running
in Nova Scotia for the 2009-2010 school year. Please read on
to learn more about these hands-on, interactive presentations that could
be available for your class.
Program Goal
The goal of the education program is to develop and deliver environmental
school programs that increase youths’ awareness, understanding
and appreciation of the ecological processes and environmental issues
of the Atlantic region, and to encourage environmental stewardship actions.
Core Philosophies
· Bringing People Together
We will act in the spirit of community, cooperation and teamwork
in the interest of promoting, enhancing and supporting sound environmental
education within Canada.
· Connections with the Earth
We focus on the interconnectedness of our ecosystems, linking the
local to the global. We encourage environmental stewardship and sustainability
to help reduce human impact on the planet.
· Empowerment
We seek to provide skills that stimulate critical thought and empower
participants to initiate and continue environmental activities. Our
Education Programs are based on sound, credible science and are presented
in an unbiased fashion, thus allowing students to consider a wide
range of opinions and values to make sustainable choices.
· Education by Doing
Centered around hands-on interactive activities, our resources and
programs help participants derive a sense of place.
· Program Costs
Information on program costs and registration for fall 2009 will be coming soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact Heidi at (902) 444-3113.
