Welcome to the Green Bricks Education Society. The purpose of our organization is to involve BC youth in sustainable land use and development through curriculum-linked outreach programs.
Green Bricks is pleased to offer an exciting sustainability workshop across British Columbia. Piloted in 2007 and now being offered to over 100 classrooms during the 2009/10 school year, this Green Bricks workshop engages secondary school students to understand the importance and benefits of sustainable building issues in their schools and communities.
Green Bricks will allow students to search for practical solutions for green building design and maintenance, while providing the skills to work towards a more sustainable future.
There are 3 components to the Green Bricks program: an interactive classroom presentation (75 minutes) OR the regional kit for schools outside the Lower Mainland; a PLO-linked learning resource; and the exciting Green Bricks Student Challenge.
As Green Bricks is a BC initiative, it was developed to support several secondary level BC Ministry of Education's Prescribed Learning Outcomes. Check out the PLO description to learn how Green Bricks fits into your curriculum.
