4 - Quality Education
Au Projet Gaia, nous faisons appel à une démarche originale afin d’outiller les jeunes de la maternelle à la 12ième pour agir. À chacun de nos projets, nous intégrons l’apprentissage par l’enquête, les liens avec le programme d’études et l’action locale. Nous nous rendons dans la salle de classe pour travailler directement avec les élèves et les enseignant(e)s.
At The Gaia Project, we use a unique approach to empower youth, K-12, to take action. We incorporate inquiry-based education, curriculum links, and local action in each of our projects.
We offer 1-hour staff-guided curriculum-linked nature walks on the trails of the 440 hectare Meduxnekeag Valley Nature Preserve to K-5 classes and 2 hr hands-on science workshops for Middle and High School classes on trees, forest soils and water quality. Free to schools; we pay busing.

"Fairlight Farm & Forest Centre is run by Leah ""Sparrow"" Houghton, who has extensive teaching experience in outdoor settings and specializes in survival skills and farm animals. The many farm animals (horses, pigs, chickens, cow, goats, pony) are a big draw, as children can participate in chores and learn about livestock care and food security. The farm also has an outdoor classroom and multiple camps in the 40 acres of mixed hardwood/softwood forest and a stream for exploring.
"Sometimes it’s obvious when a chemical is hazardous, for example, those that cause a rash of coughing from breathing the fumes. Other chemicals cause no immediate or clear symptoms but can have some of the most insidious long-term health effects – particularly when exposure occurs in-utero or during early childhood.
The Healthy Homes project is designed to introduce families to common in-home sources of toxins and provide practical, affordable solutions to limit potentially toxic contact in their day-to-day life.
New Brunswick is lucky to experience relatively clean air, but it remains a growing threat. More people are turning to wood-burning heating options to save money, and climate change is driving hotter, drier summers with more intense wildfires. As we've seen in the summer of 2023, the smoke from these fires can travel thousands of kilometres!
Air pollution affects everyone - especially children. Kids’ lungs are still developing. They breathe more quickly than adults, which means they breathe more air, and more air pollution.
