Sustainability Outreach
Students on Sustainability is a University of Calgary and Mount Royal University student society, that educates grade school students on sustainability topics linked to climate change and supports relevant student action projects. Students on Sustainability engages with students across all levels within Albertan grade schools.
Our Mission
The goal of Students on Sustainability is to incorporate relevant energy, environment, and climate topics into classroom curriculum (renewable energy, climate change, energy conservation, engineering, modeling, systems thinking, food security and more) to encourage students to take positive action now - and to better understand how sustainability can be part of their future careers. We offer formal classroom talks, small group exercises or discussions, interactive learning, and public engagement events. Presentations support teachers to deliver Alberta aligned curriculum. We have partnered with multiple content providers to cater to multiple grade levels and topics. Interested in bringing in Students on Sustainability to your classroom?
More information for teachers about presentation topics, and bookings can be found here.
Students on Sustainability university student volunteers receive training on talking about climate and energy in Alberta, as well as grade school classroom teaching techniques, certificates honoring their volunteer hours, and the opportunity to meet sustainability professionals at networking events.
