  • This course is intended for learners with no previous training in this subject. Only scientific spirit and interest are required. Learners will attend short 10-minute interactive lectures in the form of short descriptive videos or discussions for each subsection. These lectures will contain a discussion exploring the learner's perceptions around the topics before and after the explanation, allowing us to develop the more nuanced facets further. Theories will be presented using concrete examples. The educator will use a coaching approach to present the theories and use activities, demonstrations, and discussions.
eacher Qualifications - Marie-Ève Denis Bordeleau:
I have been attracted to the environment, wildlife, and teaching others all my life. In addition, I have a passion for equestrian sports, which I have taught for more than 6 years, practically and theoretically, to children from 6 years to adults in their fifties, all while completing my studies. My interest in education led me to complete a year of studies in psychology. Overshadowed by my interest in the environment, I changed my field of study to the environment and obtained a bachelor's degree in ecology and environment. I gained field experience through various research opportunities, notably on the biotic impact of white-tailed deer on the regeneration of the Eardley Escarpment. My professional experience has taken me into land management and biology, where I have worked on everything from environmental rights to microbiology. I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge in this field and my other areas of expertise. By combining my two passions, I could talk about the environment and its protection while getting young people more informed.
