ENVIRONMENTAL LEADER's PROJECT (H3-ELP)

Last year, Thames Valley launched a new grade 10 multi-credit environmental program through our London Environmental Education Centre. The H-ELP (Head, Hearts, Hands approach to Environmental Leaders’ Project) brings together a group of student leaders from various secondary schools, and empowers them with engaging experiential learning opportunities.

Learning in the outdoors not only offers a unique context for learning but also provides experiential learning outside the classroom to foster a connection to local places and to develop a greater understanding of ecosystems. Natural and human-built environments can be used as sites for discovery, problem-solving, and active learning, as well as for first-hand experiences that put students in touch with nature.
