A brief description of the program, including examples of peer-to-peer outreach activities (1st program):
Student educators assist with a range of outreach activities at the university. A key emphasis this year has been waste diversion. The University of Winnipeg launched a new bin system over the course of 2013 and 2014. The bins are 4 stream bins -- made up of 2 recycling streams, compost and landfill. In an effort to increase our diversion rates, the student educators are placed at bins to assist students with sorting their waste at key points during the academic year. Educators assist with other projects, such as tabling at student events and doing "walk throughs" on campus to assist with surveys and outreach.
