ANTHROPOCENE EDUCATION PROGRAM
NOW AVAILABLE!
The Anthropocene Project is proud to bring a unique bilingual education program to teachers across Canada FOR FREE, in partnership with the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS).
The Anthropocene Education Program (AEP) includes incredible 360 VR films; educational short films, online interactive gigapixel photographs, AR experiences, and a large-scale high-resolution Giant Floor Mural depicting one of Edward Burtynsky’s photographs with related film extensions (part of a travelling school kit), and brand new content focused on the theme of “Plastics in the Anthropocene”. These assets augment specific teacher guides and lesson plans written by the qualified educators from Can Geo Education and linked to the Canadian National Learning Framework for grades 4-12 Geography, or primaire 4 to secondaire 5 in Quebec.
The program leverages the stunning audiovisual resources of The Anthropocene Project, and the proven expertise and distribution networks of The Royal Canadian Geographical Society to create a powerful and change-provoking experiential understanding of human impact on the planet for students in classrooms from coast to coast, ages 9 – 18. The program will reach more than 23,000 classroom teachers from across the country through the RCGS’s educational arm, Canadian Geographic (Can Geo) Education.
MAINTENANT DISPONIBLE!
Le Projet Anthropocène est fier d'offrir gratuitement un programme éducatif et bilingue unique aux enseignants au Canada, en partenariat avec la Société géographique royale du Canada (SGRC).
Le Programme d'éducation sur l'Anthropocène comprend des films en réalité virtuelle à 360 degrés incroyables; des courtes séquences vidéo éducatives, des photographies gigapixels interactives en ligne, des expériences en réalité augmentée et un tapis géant avec une des photographies d'Edward Burtynsky qui inclut des extensions de film connexes (faisant partie d'une trousse pédagogique itinérante), et un tout nouveau contenu axé sur le thème du << Plastique, un indicateur important de l'Anthropocène >>. Ces atouts s'ajoutent à des guides pédagogiques et à des plans de cours rédigés par des éducateurs qualifiés de Canadian Geographic Éducation (Can Geo Éducation) et liés au Cadre d'apprentissage de la géographie du Canada pour la 4e à la 12e année et la primaire 4 au secondaire 5 au Québec.
Le programme tire parti des étonnantes ressources audiovisuelles du Projet Anthropocène et de l'expertise et des réseaux de distribution de la Société géographique royale du Canada pour créer une expérience puissante et stimulante qui démontre l'impact humain sur la planète aux élèves de 9 à 18 ans d'un océan à l'autre. Le programme atteindra plus de 23 000 enseignants de partout au Canada par l'entremise de l'organisation éducative de la SGRC, Can Geo Éducation.
