Experiential learning in the Canadian tundra
Not everything we learn in school comes from a textbook. Some lessons happen outside of the classroom and – unlike memorized dates and numbers that float out of our heads after a test – these are the teachable moments that we never forget.
Here are our favourite memories from the student exchange that happened between kids at Stratford Northwestern Secondary School in Stratford, Ont., and Kiilinik High School, located in the Arctic Circle, in Nunavut.
1. Kids from Ontario visit Kiilinik
It's cold and there's a lot of snow in the Canadian tundra, as students from Stratford, Ont., found out when they travelled north of the Arctic Circle. They came a long way in kilometres to visit their Kiilinik exchange partners.
