Founded in 2009 by Kate Tilleczek, we are dedicated to developing culturally and youth-attuned research, education & dialogue across countries, ages, communities and sectors.
Our Commitment to Planetary Health…
Our current geological era is characterized by drastic human impact on the earth’s ecosystems and is known as the Anthropocene. The concept of Planetary Health acknowledges connections between environmental health and human wellbeing, connections at the core of some Indigenous cosmovisions and ecological worldviews. These ideas guide our work and reciprocal relationships with partners, youth, communities and the natural world. We aim to act consciously and acknowledge that we are open to learning and to making improvements.
A Virtual Lab
We ensure the results of our work are accessible through various forms of print, digital, and social media so that young people are seen and heard. We work virtually where possible to reduce carbon emissions.
Education ‘Without Walls’
We work with/for youth and their communities to design and implement quality education that transcends formal schooling through integrated, holistic, land-based, culturally relevant and youth-centred education.
