Enviroschools is Exploring Sustainable Communities through Kai/ Food.
We are keen to work with passionate teachers in the Waikato to be part of an exploratory learning and action project. The research aspect of this will run from September 2012 – December 2013.
Questions we are
wondering about:
·
What
can Enviroschools contribute to building community through teaching and
learning that enables student and community action?
·
How
can Enviroschools projects contribute to needs in our communities? Such as:
-
having
healthy affordable food for our families?
-
creating
local employment?
-
regenerating
and learning from past food practices, in particular those used by tangata
whenua?
-
celebrating
our diversity of cultures?
-
reconnecting
us with the land and our neighbours?
·
In
what ways do Enviroschools projects connect teaching and learning with plans,
initiatives and people that are also engaged in food projects locally and as a
community?
·
How
will our learning in Enviroschools continue to make the concept of
sustainability an achievable reality?
