Built on a solid foundation of academic and market research, the Redfish School of Change is a non-profit partnership program between GreenLearning Canada and the School of Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria. Pearson College was also a founding partner. A shared passion for social and environmental change and experiential education makes this unique program possible.
GreenLearning Canada inspires and empowers today's young people to take the lead in creating a sustainable future. We have created innovative resources for teachers and rich educational experiences for students since 1985. Now a non-profit organization, GreenLearning Canada is dedicated to working with school boards, teachers, faculties of education and environmental studies, and other partners to
increase the energy and environmental literacy of young Canadians.
The University of Victoria School of Environmental Studies digs deep into environmental
problems from three distinctive perspectives: ethnoecology, ecological restoration and political ecology. This combination makes us unique
in Canada,
and one of the main reasons why our undergraduate and graduate programs are in
high demand. We have a strong commitment to innovative community-based research,
field-based and experiential learning, co-operative education, and to providing
some of the knowledge and habits to become an ecological citizen.
