On November 14th, over 200 students, from five different
Canadian schools, along with two additional guest schools
in Thailand and India collaborated using a hybrid of
H.323 video conferencing and online tools to share their
perspective on Canada’s position going into the United
Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP 18). From the
rural community of Edson, Alberta, to downtown Toronto,
from Victoria, British Columbia to Laval, Quebec, the youth
of Canada exchanged ideas, debated alternatives and
ultimately created a document that gave voice to their
vision for a more sustainable energy future. The resulting
work, an “archetype of grass roots democracy” is the
culmination of over a month of online team work, 2,000
hours of student collaboration, 200+ hours of teacher
facilitation, and a passion by Canada’s youth to engage
in the national debate and have their voices be heard.
