Engaging Youth and Elders in Intergenerational Knowledge Transfer (Coast Funds)

Engaging Youth and Elders in Intergenerational Knowledge Transfer (Coast Funds)

https://coastfunds.ca/outcomes/cultural-vitality/?tab=elders-and-youth

First Nations in the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii regions of British Columbia are actively revitalizing their cultural traditions through programs that transfer knowledge from Elders to youth and support stewardship activities that leverage traditional ecological knowledge. By working to sustain traditions, First Nations are supporting their community members’ multi-generational retention of unique knowledge that supports long-term stewardship of their lands, ocean, and culture.
