Description
Often, students disassociate their role as citizens living in a democracy from their current role as students and, eventually, their role as natural resource professionals. There is a need in natural resources education to re-associate these roles. The question is how to do it in a way that is meaningful to students. In 1999, the Colleges of Natural Resources and Education and Human Development at the University of Minnesota embarked on a three-year project with the Hong Kong Institute of Education to develop educational programs related to civic responsibility, moral development, and environmental and natural resources education.
