RCE Saskatchewan Education for Sustainable Development Project Inventory Report Project Summary Compiled by Kimberly M. Dohms and Peta J. White RCE Saskatchewan Student Researchers Under the Direction of Roger Petry and Lyle Benko RCE Saskatchewan Co‐coordinators June 2009 Regina, Saskatchewan RCE Saskatchewan (www.saskrce.ca) has made significant efforts to identify Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) projects operating within the RCE region of Saskatchewan. A project encompasses a program, project, event, activity, initiative, resource, or anything relevant to ESD. The purpose of this inventory is to facilitate collaboration and partnerships, to document and spread the word about good work occurring throughout the RCE Saskatchewan region, and to increase awareness about ESD initiatives. Eight student researchers were contracted by Luther College at the University of Regina for RCE Saskatchewan from December 2007 for one year. Funding was provided by the Green Initiatives Fund/Go Green Fund of the Government of Saskatchewan Ministry of the Environment. The researchers were students at various post secondary institutions, ranging from undergraduate to graduate, and each researched one of six theme areas. As part of the research, they communicated directly with many ESD project coordinators around the province to ensure that their projects were accurately portrayed in the report. One of the eight student researchers took on a management role supporting the other student researchers, recording the process, assisting with data management, and working with the two cross cutting themes: "sustaining rural communities" and "educational approaches for regional ESD." Students met once a month and jointly designed the online inventory survey, which facilitated the data collection, and the reporting of the data at the conclusion of the project. Dr. Roger Petry and Lyle Benko, co‐coordinators of RCE Saskatchewan, supervised the process and provided supervisory support for individual student researchers. Student supervisory support was also provided by the coordinators of the six theme area working groups of RCE Saskatchewan. This report is one of the outcomes of this process. Additional outcomes include an excel spreadsheet with additional project detail and a planned online map of ESD projects catalogued through this inventory.
