Algonquin College See-Earth Program

The Algonquin College See-Earth program blends a challenging professional development and eco­adventure opportunity for teachers (March 2009) with an experiential learning program for grade 9 students (July 13-17 2009), and culminates in an environmentally-themed initiative being implemented at their respective schools over the 09/10 academic year.

As a See-Earth summer participant, you will:

• Explore the Ottawa Valley and its native species as you kayak down the Ottawa River;
• Learn innovative and media rich ways to communicate an environmentally friendly message with experts from Algonquin College;
• Meet youth with similar interests from other schools;
• Investigate local water issues;
• Explore ways to introduce eco-friendly practices into everyday tasks; and
• Learn how to make a difference in your school and community.
