Eco-literate young people: Creative community-engaged intergenerational research for cultural and social sustainability

Abstract

Amanda Wager discusses a participatory research project with young people taking an arts-based approach to land-based, intergenerational, and cross-cultural education for eco-literacy. At the core of her chapter is the Youth Language Warriors project hosted at the Tsawalk Learning Centre, an Indigenous community-based learning program. Among the participants of the project were youth researchers, artists, Indigenous elders, facilitators, a community support worker, a teacher, and of course the land itself.
