Imagine learning about pressing challenges in our world, like reconciliation and the climate crisis, not within the confines of a classroom or from the pages of a textbook, but on the land and from the living world around you.
That's what is on offer for young people taking part in programs offered by Howl, a non-profit organization that offers land-based learning opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30.
A partnership project between Royal Roads University and Howl has been established, thanks to $1.5 million in funding from the Canada Service Corps service placement funding stream, so more young people can have unique field-study experiences which combine natural sciences curriculum, Indigenous Knowledge, and on-the-land learning with opportunities for both community building and resume building too.
