Indigenous Language Online Courses - Outdoor Learning School & Store

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
These courses are open to everyone – both Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants who wish to support language revitalization. If you are a non-Indigenous language learner, we invite you to review these reflections on what it means to be a non-Indigenous learner in an Indigenous language learning course. Indigenous languages carry connections to lands, ancestors, traditions, and contain ecological knowledge crucial for sustainable living, medicinal practices, and traditional storytelling, enriching our collective wisdom. By supporting Indigenous language revitalization efforts, we not only preserve linguistic diversity but also uphold Indigenous Peoples’ fundamental rights to their languages and cultures. Our intention is not to offer a second language program where participants achieve fluency, but rather to provide a spark—an introduction that inspires and encourages further engagement with the language and broader revitalization efforts. We aim to create a welcoming space where learners can begin their journey, build connections, and develop a foundation for future learning opportunities. Non-Indigenous participants can take steps towards reconciliation by participating in language courses like these as a way to uplift language revitalization and deepen their own understanding of local place. Click here to sign-up for our updates if you’d like to be notified of future courses. Indigenous language courses that our charity has offered in the past, and we hope to offer again, include: Ktunaxa Michif Nêhiyawêwin (Cree) Secwepemctsín Dene Kǝdǝ́ Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) Kanyen’keha (Mohawk) Skarù·ręʔ (Tuscarora) Mi’kmaw (Mi’kmaq)

Climate Change is Here

We all experience climate change differently depending on where we live. As global temperatures rise, our weather patterns change, causing heat waves, drought, flooding, hurricanes, and more. While Kenya endured a fifth year of drought, Pakistan experienced unprecedented floods. Wildfires in Canada and the US have become a regular summer occurrence, but for islands in the Pacific, like Kiribati, sea level rise threatens their land and freshwater resources.

Perhaps you did not get any snow days last year due to an uncharacteristically warm winter, or you couldn't go to the beach due to harmful algal blooms. Maybe your favorite animal is at risk of losing its habitat, or your favorite foods are becoming harder to find at the grocery store. These are all symptoms of climate change.

While you're experiencing some of these climate impacts, you may also be noticing climate solutions: more electric vehicles on the road, solar panels on houses in your neighborhood, composting efforts in your school, or your friends switching to plant-based diets. These are all effective ways for individuals to take action against climate change by reducing their carbon emissions.

Why Tell Your Climate Story?

Climate science is very data-driven. From the data, we know that climate change is happening and can project how it will impact weather, agriculture, and infrastructure. It is also one of the biggest threats to our oceans. It is important to understand this, but often, the data feels too removed from day-to-day life. By telling your climate story, you can bridge the gap between the data and your reality. There's power in telling a personal story through art, writing, dance, film, and more. Through the arts, you can help people connect with these issues in a new and relevant way.

"People can't understand the world as a gift unless someone shows them how it's a gift." - Robin Wall Kimmerer

Your climate story does not have to be a catastrophe, like extreme weather or wildfires. You can focus on how climate change is altering how you eat, play sports, or make vacation plans. You can celebrate climate solutions in your community or initiatives that you have participated in, or share how you find strength and inspiration in our changing world. These are all part of your climate story. It can be cathartic to express your feelings about climate change, and we hope you will find community and realize that other people around the world are experiencing and feeling some of the same things you are.

Last year, we explored Climate Heroes who have taken steps to fight climate change, from organizing rallies, researching solutions, and raising awareness. Oftentimes, the catalyst that sparks their journey comes from their lived experiences - their climate stories. With that, we ask you to tell your climate story.

Tell Your Climate Story Prompt
Think about climate issues and solutions and consider how they have affected you or your community. Find something that resonates deeply with your experiences - perhaps a climate impact you witnessed, an initiative that you've participated in, or a source of strength and inspiration when thinking about the climate crisis. Share your personal climate story through art, writing, performance, film, or multimedia. What is the story that you'd like to tell? Note: We are asking specifically about climate change and not other environmental concerns, like plastic pollution, oil spills, and overfishing. If you do choose to address these issues, make sure that you research how they connect to climate change and incorporate that into your submission.
Who May Enter

Students ages 11-18 from around the world are invited to participate in the Ocean Awareness Contest. Enter the division based on your age at the time of entry:

Students can participate as an individual or as a club, class, or group of any size. All students must provide the contact information for an Adult Sponsor (teacher, parent, mentor, etc.) Students who have started college or university are not eligible to participate in the Contest.

Municipal Infiltration Manual — Youth Climate Lab

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In Canada, municipalities account for over 50% of the national greenhouse gas emissions (Source: Federation of Canadian Municipalities). This underlines the undeniable need for local climate action. But let's face it, municipal government structures can be daunting. Breaking them down, however, makes it easier to find openings for action.
The Infiltration Manual aims to demystify municipal governance structures and provide youth with practical knowledge and tools on how to take climate action at the local level. It covers a range of topics, including:

An overview of the structure of municipal government

A roadmap on how to gather community support

Tips on how to present an initiative to Council

A variety of email, meeting, and petition templates

This manual is divided into four sections, each composed of several modules that serve as your go-to guide for all municipal government and climate action questions. Interspersed throughout the manual are examples and insider tips. Use the table of contents to skip to the modules most relevant to you.

Voici quelques exemples de projets inspirants financés par les subventions Libérez votre nature à l'école.
Boucherville, Qc, École Paul VI - Projet jardin de monarques
Le projet consiste à impliquer les enfants dans les étapes de création d'un jardin pour monarques afin de leur faire prendre conscience de l'existence des espèces menacées, de l'importance des écosystèmes et de la possibilité pour eux d'avoir un impact réel sur leur environnement. Les élèves devront proposer des emplacements pour le jardin et sélectionner des plantes indigènes. Cela leur permettra d'en apprendre d'avantages sur le monarque, son cycle de vie et son habitat. Les élèves participeront à la plantation, à l'entretien et prendront part à l'observation des résultats.
Montréal, Qc, HEC Montréal - Orléans, Ont., École St-Jacques-le-Mineur, Qc, École St-Jacques - Découvrir, grandir et s'épanouir en plein air secondaire catholique Béatrice-Desloges St-Pascal, Qc, École Secondaire Chanoine-Beaudet - Les plates-bandes comestibles -Tecumseh, Ont., École Élémentaire Catholique Saint-Antoine - Jardins potager et pollinisateur Jardin scolaire communautaire Bibliothèque de semences
Notre projet consiste à implanter une bibliothèque de semences sur le campus du HEC Montréal afin de mettre en place un processus de conservation des semences indigènes et anciennes pouvant faire preuve d'une grande résilience face aux changements climatiques. Le but serait que les étudiant.e.s puissent se servir gratuitement en semences dans la bibliothèque afin de faire partir des semis chez elles et eux. Il leur sera demandé de rapporter par la suite une partie des semences produites à la bibliothèque. Nous souhaitons également planter davantage d'espèces indigènes, dont deux considérées comme menacées, dans notre campus afin de pouvoir en récolter les semences, les conserver au sein de la bibliothèque et faire en sorte d'aider ces espèces à se propager grâce au système de prêt de semences.

Notre projet aide à la réalisation d'un jardin scolaire et communautaire. Ce jardin permettra aux élèves de s'engager dans la gestion d'un écosystème durable sur les lieux de l'école. De plus, le jardin sera accessible aux membres de la communauté dans le but de créer un partenariat entre l'école et le quartier. Les élèves du cours de construction participeront à la conception et à la fabrication de plates-bandes surélevées. La première phase consistera ainsi à planter des fleurs et des arbustes vivaces dans le but d'attirer des pollinisateurs. Les plantes seront entretenues et utilisées par les élèves des cours d'hôtellerie de l'école.

Nous désirons améliorer les plates-bandes de l'école afin d'y planter des fleurs favorisant la pollinisation.  Ce projet nous permettra de développer le sentiment d'appartenance des élèves, de fierté envers leur école, en plus de les sensibiliser à la nature qui les entoure. En privilégiant des plantes mellifères, nous pourrons observer les insectes qui viendront se nourrir du pollen des fleurs. Nous ferons des semis en classe et apprendrons le cycle de vie des plantes. Nous désirons aussi semer des tournesols afin d'en récolter les graines pour nourrir les oiseaux durant l'hiver.

Nous souhaitons aménager un jardin comestible dans lequel nous planterons des fleurs et des plantes comestibles afin d'augmenter la biodiversité sur le territoire aux environs de l'école. Les élèves apprendront à aménager un jardin et à le cultiver. Il.elle.s apprendront aussi l'importance de la biodiversité dans l'aménagement du jardin. Ce projet se fera en collaboration avec la communauté ainsi que le centre de la petite enfance. Les élèves du secondaire entretiendront le jardin et permettront aux enfants de la garderie d'en apprendre plus sur l'importance d'écosystèmes sains. Les choix des variétés plantées se feront en fonction de favoriser la présence des insectes pollinisateurs.

Nous avons déjà des jardins à l'école que nous aimerions utiliser pour planter des légumes et pour planter des fleurs qui attirent les pollinisateurs. Les élèves apprendront comment semer des graines, transplanter les plantes dans le jardin, les soigner et en faire la récolte.  Ils pourront aussi observer l'effet sur les insectes pollinisateurs de notre région.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
About the resource

This toolkit has been created to help young people establish a youth climate council in their cities and communities. Available in and, it provides step-by-step guidance on how to create a youth climate council and effectively work with city representatives for impactful and meaningful participation of young people in city-led climate action.

It also offers insights into how similar youth participation mechanisms have worked in decision making processes on local and national levels as well as resources aimed at providing young people with further guidance on actively participating in city climate initiatives.
The toolkit sets out 12 steps aimed at guiding young people in process of creating youth climate councils to help shape and drive climate action in their cities and communities:

Step 1: Identify the goal and opportunities of city-youth engagement: Define your objectives for working with the city on climate action initiatives.

Step 2: Analyse the trajectory of youth advocacy on climate change: Evaluate the ways your city is being impacted by the climate crisis and the trajectory of local youth advocacy on climate action.

Step 3: Reflect on your city's past and ongoing engagement with young people: Analyse how young people have been engaged in your city's climate action and decision-making processes so far. Understand their interests, challenges, and the opportunities they have been offered. Then, use these insights to plan your engagement with the city.

Step 4: Build partnerships: Identify active youth climate groups in your city. Reach out to them and explore opportunities for collaboration.

Step 5: Reach out to your city representatives: Identify and reach out to city representatives to discuss the potential for a local youth climate council and prepare your case for establishing one.

Step 6: Prepare to meet city representatives: Reflect on the practical aspects of establishing a youth climate council. Partner with other young people and groups to develop a proposal for how the youth climate council could be structured. Identify ways to balance the needs and expectations of young people with the practicalities of working with city representative

Step 7: Establish a strong relationship with city representatives: Actively engage and build a collaborative relationship with city representatives. Consider how their expertise and resources can support the establishment and implementation of a youth climate council.

Step 8: Assess training and capacity-building needs: Identify the specific skills and knowledge needed for youth leaders to participate in a youth climate council. Plan a set of capacity-building sessions that will address these needs.

Step 9: Maintain collaboration with city representatives: Actively engage with city representatives, ensuring that young people's views are helping to shape the structure and activities of the youth climate council.

Step 10: Operationalise the youth climate council: Assign a dedicated youth representative to liaise with city representatives. This will ensure ongoing communications and meaningful collaboration between youth climate council members and the city.

Step 11: Regularly assess and address the needs of the council: Continue to monitor the priorities, evolving needs, and impact of the youth climate council's initiatives.

Step 12: Celebrate success: Amplify the successes and impact of your city-youth collaboration.

The toolkit is complemented by a guide for city practitioners available on the C40 Knowledge Hub.
