Objectifs et capacités de Apprenant.es

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Thompson Rivers university to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

Students in this program examine the cultural attitudes that have influenced land use and environmental change in the past and present. They also examine the environmental movement, environmental conflict, and environmental policy, including sustainable development. Students follow a historical and cross-cultural approach -- many examples involve contrasting attitudes in “The West” with those of Japan and the rest of Asia.
