Community Service Learning
EP completed its 4th year enabling high school students to fulfill community
service learning requirements. The "roots" Program is a 10 week
program focused on interesting case studies of the need to view
environmental protection (or remediation) from multiple viewpoints.
In fall 2004, EP plans for students to observe activism taking place
in response to the proposed Boston University construction of a
laboratory for research on bioterroism agents in Roxbury. The goal
will be understanding perspectives of different parties to the dispute
and seeing what different actors believe make compelling arguments.
More information will follow, or contact us.
2001 roots Program involved urban gardening space
shared by elderly Chinese gardeners and middle class residents
living in Boston's South End.
2002 roots presented the City Ambassadors
Programin which students took tours of Boston (underground, historical,
the Big Dig..) and prepared their own tour of the Boston Common
and Garden.
2003 roots took students to the
Geographic Information Technology Lab at U Mass Boston where they
used GIS (geographic information system) mapping to explore environmental
issues in their neighborhoods.
2004 roots spring students started learning what it means when people refer to "our food system", visiting sustainable agriculture sites in Boston and its surrounding areas. |
