McGregor  \nAbstract  \nThis case study identifies the components of an environmental education and leadership development program that are uniquely important to engaging a specific group of learners: Inuit youth from across the Circumpolar Arctic. The introduction of a community-building pre-program, customized to the perspectives of these youth and held prior to joining a larger expedition, made a significant difference to their participation in the program. In seeking to engage, prepare, and support Indigenous youth to become environmental change leaders, this research suggests they benefit from the safety net of a peer community, allowing them to engage more fully in revealing their identities, sharing their gifts, expressing their dreams, and exposing their challenges. As a result of the pre-program, they benefitted more comprehensively from, and contributed more fully to, the larger expedition’s program outcomes.  \nRésumé  \nLa présente étude de cas dégage les éléments particulièrement importants que devrait intégrer tout programme d’éducation et de développement du leadership en environnement pour rejoindre un groupe précis d’apprenants : les jeunes Inuits de l’Arctique circumpolaire. L’introduction d’une activité préliminaire dedéveloppement de la conscience communautaire adaptée à la réalité de ces jeunes avant une expédition de plus grande envergure a fait une énorme différence dans leur participation au programme. Pour encourager et préparer les jeunes Autochtones à devenir des modèles dans la protection de l’environnement et la lutte contre les changements climatiques, la présente montre les avantages qu’apporte une communauté de pairs : un filet de sécurité pour exprimer son identité avec plus de confiance, mettre ses talents au service du monde, exprimer ses rêves et oser exposer ses difficultés. Grâce à l’activité préliminaire, les jeunesont retiré de plus grands bénéfices du programme d’expédition et mieux contribuéà l’atteinte de ses objectifs.  \nKeywords: Arctic education, Inuit education, Indigenous youth, leadership development, experiential learning, environmental education, community building  \nMots-clés : éducation dans l’Arctique, éducation inuite, jeunes Autochtones, développement du leadership, apprentissage par l’expérience, éducation relative à l’environnement, développement de la conscience communautaire  \nCanadian Journal of Environmental Education, 24 (1), 2021 75  \nIntroduction  \nClimate crisis has already significantly affected Indigenous residents of the Circumpolar North and can be expected to continue disproportionately affecting them (International Panel on Climate Change, 2018) . At the sametime, Arctic peoples are saddled with many other complicated challenges: food insecurity, insufficient housing, and ongoing gaps in wellness indicators, or social determinants of health (Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, 2014) . There is an urgent need to grow the resources available for environmental education in the Arctic, echoing Leanne Simpson’s (2002) call with respect to Indigenous communities across Canada. Greater supports are also needed for potential future Northern leaders; those forced to navigate the unique web of problems associated with settler colonialism, intergenerational trauma (Crawford, 2014), and climate catastrophe (Watt-Cloutier, 2016) . Arguably, to reach the greatest number of people, environmental education and land-based learning in the Arctic must occur through the public school system and Arctic-based post-secondary programs. While improving public education is a national priority for Inuit (Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, 2011) and northern Indigenous graduation rates are improving, changes to public school systems, such as Nunavut’s, continue to appear incremental and slow to meet the needs of youth (Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, 2018, p. 19; Office of the Auditor General of Canada, 2013; O’","cbCaiaABNenx1Qth","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaABNenx1Qth","pdf",494937,18,"English","# Introduction\n## Climate crisis and Indigenous youth need\n## Role of environmental education and Arctic learning\n## Students on Ice program context\n## Research aim and case-study focus","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the case study?\",\"answer\":\"To identify program components that are uniquely important for engaging Inuit youth in an environmental education and leadership development program and to support their leadership development.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the pre-program influence youth participation?\",\"answer\":\"A community-building pre-program conducted before joining the expedition makes a significant difference in how fully Inuit youth participate in the overall program.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does a peer community matter for leadership development?\",\"answer\":\"The study suggests that Inuit youth benefit from a peer community safety net, which helps them engage more fully by expressing identity, sharing gifts, expressing dreams, and exposing challenges.\"}]","Becoming Arctic Ambassadors - Preparing Inuit Youth for Leadership on Expeditions and Beyond | PDF",45]
