A NEW LOOK FOR ECOKIDS.CA -
EcoKids is Earth Day Canada's environmental education program for elementary school aged youth. Since 1994, the EcoKids Program has empowered Canadian youth with environmental knowledge and hands-on activities, and presented this information in fun, exciting ways that increase awareness and encourage active community involvement. Our award-winning EcoKids website, www.ecokids.ca - the centrepiece of the program - is an innovative, interactive environmental website for children, their families, and educators in Canada and around the world.
Learning to Learn - the very first training program aimed at teaching adults with little schooling the methods necessary to learn, was jointly achieved by the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue and the Centre DÉBAT, a literacy group working in an impoverished district of Montreal. Created with the financial participation of the National Literacy Secretariat, the program was initially published in French in the autumn of 2000, then translated into English and launched in Montreal in April 2006.
