Objectives:
- Mobilizing young people and the community around climate issues.
- Offering transformative educational expeditions to the polar regions.
- Promoting the personal and professional development of participating young people.
The Students on Ice expedition allows young students to participate in educational adventures on climate change in the Arctic every year. This experience lasts nearly two weeks aboard a research vessel in the company of other young people from around the world and a multidisciplinary team of environmental and education experts, scientists and committed artists.
Impact on Manicouagan:
These calls for applications are opportunities for young people from Pessamit, Baie-Comeau, and the surrounding area who want to have a life-changing experience. Each expedition is a concrete and invaluable experience for young people, who have the chance to broaden their knowledge of the world and gain the inspiration and motivation they need to act as agents of change in their community.
Launched in 2015 through a partnership with the international organization Students On Ice, the project is currently supported by the Baie-Comeau Aluminum Smelter Fund for Sustainable Communities, Cargill Limited and Caisse Desjardins de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles.
