Number of students served (i.e. directly targeted) by the program (headcount):
28,504
A brief description of the program, including examples of peer-to-peer outreach activities:
Eco-leaders (volunteering students and employees) provide leadership related to sustainability issues within their immediate community. They are active members of a wider network of people particularly challenged by these topics and willing to be carriers of solutions. Eco-leaders become sort of liaisons between the central actors of sustainable development on campuses and the university community at large. They often address the problems they encounter and share them with central players in a two-way exchange, as part of an inspiring and positive approach.
Examples of issues on which the eco-leaders are asked to intervene:
- event planning
- green office
- waste management outreach
- sustainable transportation
A brief description of how the student educators are selected:
For the first year of the program, students who had previously shown interest and/or offered to volunteer for sustainability were directly recruited by the Sustainability office.
A selection process through interviews will be put in place for subsequent years.
A brief description of the formal training that the student educators receive to prepare them to conduct peer outreach:
Eco-leaders receive formal training at the beginning of each semester. Group training is provided by the Sustainability Office. The following training modules are available online and are followed by discussions on a private exchange platform.
The courses cover the following topics:
- personal and social engagement
- tools and resources available on campus
- sustainability issues: energy and climate change, waste management, etc.
A brief description of the financial and/or administrative support the institution provides to the program (e.g. annual budget and/or faculty/staff coordination):
The Sustainability Office manages the eco-leaders program for students and employees. An annual budget is allocated and a student is hired (part-time) early in September to animate the program activities.
The program also receives recruitment support from the federation of student associations on campus for the student portion.
