SHARE YOUR PASSION FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE
Each fall, 35 students enter the Global Stewardship Program, and learn what it takes to make a difference as a global citizen. They study together in courses focusing on international issues and management training from both the Arts and Sciences and Business divisions of Capilano University. Additional seminars are delivered by leaders in the NGO, social enterprise and voluntary sectors, introducing students to the hands-on skills and behind -the-scenes realities of working to effectively make a difference in our local and global community. These courses prepare Global Stews for the engaged service learning component of the program: every year students coordinate a public engagement event to raise the profile of a major social issue, and then volunteer for a minimum of 40 hours for an NGO either locally or internationally.
GAIN EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS AND DEVELOP A NETWORK
Global Stewardship students also complete two semesters of language study, and all the other requirements of the Associate of Arts degree in the Global Stewardship Program. Students may then transfer to another institution to complete a 4-year bachelor's degree if they so wish. Graduates from the program have gone on to study to become teachers, nurses, lawyers, international development workers and journalists at schools like UBC, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver Island University (Malaspina) and Dalhousie University. Global Stewardship graduates also meet the requirements set by Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD) to apply for paid international internships through such funding agencies as the Youth Internship program.
STUDY A WIDE RANGE OF INTRIGUING SUBJECTS
The Global Stewardship curriculum has been designed to introduce you to both the context of making a change in your world, locally and internationally, and the skills needed to make a positive impact on the organizations you volunteer for. But students also enjoy learning about a wide range of subjects.
Over the two years students will study:
Politics
Geography
Environmental biology
Critical thinking
Anthropology
Economics
Global studies
World history
World literature
International organizations
Leadership
Ethics
Frank Luntz was hired by the Bush administration to figure out how to present the government views in such a way that environmentalists would appear as extremists while they appeared to be the true defender of the environment and the word stewardship was one of the recommended phrases he suggested to the Bush administration. Despite having been so instrumental in writing the book on how to deny global warming, he now regrets having assisted the deniers.
Something we all inherited and should adhere to (no matter if you are a believer of creationism or evolution).
Since you posted this question in the "Global Warming", then it would be good for people to understand how energy works to enhance the carbon cycle (life) and how it works in our climate and to understand that it is absolutely the "driver" of life itself on Earth.
I smell homework lazywebbing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewardshi... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmen... might get you started (Wikipedia is a bad place to *end* any serious research, but it can be a very good place to *start*.)
Please define to me what global stewardship is, how it affects our every day life and the impact it has on us. Thank you
