Our youth programs ususally are 2-day long experience events that bring together Atlantic Canadian youth. In particular, we try to increase the participation of rural youth in all of our programs. Falls Brook Centre has developed a number of innovative, multimedia resources for bringing our international & environmental on-the-ground experience into the classroom. The four major themes covered are Global issues, Greening School Grounds, Democracy Education & Climate Change. Under each of these themes we have classroom & student projects, resources, lesson plans and interactive web units that aim to enrich the learning experience. Many of the resources provide a New Brunswick context as well as a Canadian & global context to hot issues of our times. Go to our Teaching Resources Section. |
