This short and fun course invites participants to explore the intersection of land-based programming, creative arts, and sustainability. Through hands-on learning and arts-based approaches, students will gain practical insights into designing programs that connect deeply with the land, integrate cultural practices, and promote environmental stewardship. Emphasizing experiential learning, the course provides real-world examples and encourages participants to develop innovative solutions that are both creative and sustainable, using the arts as a bridge between nature and community.
We would like to extend our gratitude to the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse Program for their generous support in piloting this course. Their commitment to fostering creative innovation has made this educational experience possible, and we appreciate their investment in the future of arts-based programming and sustainability.
