recently completed CGF-funded projects

Geoscience Education in Action (GEA, https://geoaction.wordpress.com/about/ ) is collaborating with various universities in Quebec to provide kits to schools and integrate geoscience into their teacher training programs.

The “Below BC” Geological Association, see https://bbcga.com/ , has continued to build their online offerings, including modules for online field experiences during COVID lockdowns.

The project “Learning Resources to connect Earth Sciences and Aboriginal Knowledge” at Simon Fraser University identified existing educational materials and developed new resources and activities to support teachers in connecting Earth science with Indigenous knowledge.

Deadline for new proposals is in a few days!
