Featuring: Emily Bolton
Emily is part of the ASCENT program at Canmore Collegiate High School. She shared these thoughts at the the May 8th GEOEC Symposium.
I believe that we need to foster community in our schools. Then small scale will transfer to a large scale, one step at a time, as we move from a caring school community to a caring global community. Schools need to supply the infrastructure and foundation of citizenship in youth.
What we need are schools full of communities, not classrooms.
Hear more from these wise students on the ACEE page, Student Voices: How to inspire environmental and global citizenship in students.
