Catalyzing Collaboration Report on Culturally Inclusive Sustainability Education

This report was commissioned by the BC Working Group on Sustainability Education. It is intended to initiate a dialogue about the involvement of linguistically and culturally diverse communities in sustainability education and how community organizations can collaborate to achieve this.

This report outlines key findings and insights from twelve interviews with sustainability educators, community developers, and individuals working in settlement services. The research describes the current ad hoc approach to cultural inclusion that exists within sustainability education in Metro Vancouver. The study highlights the opportunity for organizations to collaborate and deliver culturally-appropriate sustainability education.
