- Through group-work and role-playing, students can explore how the fur trade relates to animal welfare, the environment and human rights.
What are teachers saying?
"It was a great presentation, interactive and full of
information. I know the students really appreciated it. I respect your
organization immensely, and it is always refreshing to meet people that
inspire.”
Vicki N., Social Justice 12 teacher
"Many of our adult ESL students are unaware of where fur
comes from. As new immigrants to Canada, this is a worthwhile introduction
to a contemporary Canadian issue. These presentations have also raised so
much awareness. When our students watch the Crying Shame video and see the
suffering inherent in much of the fur trade, it makes a strong impression.
These presentations do change attitudes."
Nancy C., ESL Instructor
