Our Work
At Dolesa Eco-Learning Initiative, we focus on spreading green goodness through our local eco-workshops, Global Eco-Connection Workshop and raising awareness of environmental issues through ECOArt. Check out all our work below!
Global Eco-Connection Workshop
The Global Eco-Connection Workshop is like a green oasis of environmental goodness! It's a cool opportunity where schools and communities from all corners of the world team up to swap eco-smarts and join forces on saving the planet. These workshops are all about opening eyes to global green problems and sparking ideas on how to tackle them together. In the workshop, participants dive into five environmental themes :
Energy & Transport
Food Production
Natural Resource Extraction
Consumption & Waste
Urbanization & Land Use
If you are interested in joining our Global Eco-Connection Workshop, please contact Dolesa to express your interest. We will coordinate with other schools or communities to get you set-up in a Global Eco-Connection Workshop. Workshops are led by one of our facilitators in person or via video call, or can also be led by a supporting environmental organization, or a teacher of the participating school. The workshop consists of two parts held on separate days, with information exchanged among all participating schools between the sessions. A comprehensive presentation showcasing all the results will be shared with the schools at the end of the workshop, allowing the students throughout all schools and communities to appreciate the collective effort.
Come join forces and kickstart the worldwide green makeover!
Eco-Workshops
We're all about throwing eco-parties at schools, local hangouts, or wherever the party's at! Get ready to splash into green chats about waste, energy, food production, urban landscapes, and nifty sustainable solutions! Workshops incorporate a range of learning activities, including interactive games, science experiments and take home crafts and eco-items.
Pick from one of our three interactive eco-themes:
Sustainable Communities - explore sustainable urban planning, transportation systems, local food production, natural infrastructure and renewable energy.
Sustainable Living - discover how to live in a sustainable home, from designing a tiny home to collecting rain water and recycling greywater to growing your own food and pollinator garden.
Sustainable Resources - understand the current issues with waste production and over-extraction of natural resources, and learn about the circular economy and how we can cut down on our use of materials.
ECOArt
Come dip your toes into the vibrant world of ECOArt! Dive into a colorful ocean of watercolor masterpieces featuring endangered species, shining a spotlight on the urgent need to protect habitats and biodiversity worldwide. Check out current exhibitions around Canada and Europe, or have us paint an array of paintings to promote your specific endangered species of interest!
