GreenLearning

National

GreenLearning creates free education programs about energy, climate change and the green economy that engage and empower students to create positive change for our evolving world. Our programs include both hands-on and critical thinking activities to equip teachers with the educational tools they need to help students understand complex environmental issues.

We believe that environmental education is enhanced when young learners have the opportunity to go outside and connect with nature. That’s why several of our programs include activities that bring the learning outdoors. GreenLearning’s programs go further by enabling young people to take their love for the environment and translate it into positive actions to help tackle climate change in their schools, communities and beyond.

Key Resources

GreenLearning's programs offer a number of educational resources and activities that are all FREE, and many include curriculum connections. Each program has various learning and take-action activities to offer a thorough learning experience, while offering opportunities for students to take action in creating real world impact. Several of our programs take you and your learners outdoors to learn about your community, such as our Community Energy Walk (https://programs.greenlearning.ca/course/community-walk), which takes a class on a walk through their community to identify and learn about the sources and uses of energy around them.

A great way to get your students involved in Environmental Action is to participate in one (or more) of our Annual Challenges. These Challenges provide background learning and lessons that build up to taking action in your school or community by applying your learning to the world around you! In previous years, students have planted greenery for flood resilience, built working models of renewable energy, created a mural for their garden with collected bottle caps, and so much more!
