An Environmental
Education Project
The Goal of
“When You Teach, You Learn”: The Environmentors Program is to increase children’s
awareness and exposure to environmental issues, in fun and interesting
ways. University
students studying within the McGill School of Environment ("EnvironMentors") present creative
one-hour sessions with classes and environment clubs at schools in
The project is
set-up for a one-time, one-hour classroom visit, but additional sessions are
provided upon request, and regular sessions can be arranged. McGill EnvironMentors will provide background
knowledge, materials necessary for the lesson, an interactive demonstration or
discussion, as well as information sheets containing concrete examples of what
the children can do to contribute to ecological sustainability at home. We
believe that armed with their new-found knowledge and information sheets,
children can also become environmental leaders by transmitting their knowledge
to their family and communities.
