A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability:
The program was launched in 2016 and, following its success, is renewed every year with the neighbouring school. During few days, elementary school groups are invited to HEC Montréal to discover and learn about the concept of permaculture in urban area, and are welcomed by business students volunteers. The partnership was developed to educate younger students to the concept of permaculture in urban area, especially how we can make our immediate environment more durable using a systemic approach.
In 2020, due to Covid-19, the fellowship was interrupted. Nevertheless, the partnership continues with other schools to maintain the program for when social distancing requirements will be loosened.
