Prior to this, the school did not have a physical outdoor seating area or place for the students and staff to connect with nature, despite its rural location.<\/p>\n<p>The Tranquility Garden now provides students, staff and animals with a calming and enjoyable place to visit and play. Students and staff planted fruit trees, flowers and shrubs, and built benches for seating to create the garden.<\/p>\n<p>This student-led initiative has given this school a place to learn, play and connect outdoors.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-69323\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Outdoorshelter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Outdoorshelter.jpg 300w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Outdoorshelter-250x178.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Outdoor shelter, cooking by fire<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Over 90 students worked on an UpLift student action grant to create an outdoor shelter with a stove at their school in Colchester, N.S.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to installing the hot tent shelter and stove, few students at the school had the desire to learn outside due to the exposed nature of the outdoor space.<\/p>\n<p>The outdoor shelter now serves as a space for multiple learning opportunities that connect the students to their environment, like stargazing, cooking by fire and building outdoor education skills. It is also a place for students to simply connect and socialize with peers outside.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Farm-to-school movement<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A student action team in Tatamagouche, N.S., worked with UpLift to purchase salad bar infrastructure where they can prepare the food they grow and harvest in their school gardens.

The school community already had plans to build a school garden and greenhouse.<\/p>\n<p>This funding provided the salad bar infrastructure necessary to support more diverse and nutritious food options at the school cafeteria. This infrastructure also supports youth building green leadership skills through sustainable food processes such as menu development and food preparation.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Healthier futures<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These are just a few examples of how youth have the capacity and potential to change their school community. As\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/heapro\/article\/32\/2\/195\/2950915?login=false\">researchers have documented<\/a>, youth participation in school health promotion enhances youth knowledge, competence, motivation and commitments to health and well-being. This, in turn, will help young people become active citizens for a healthier future.<\/p>\n<p>There is no day like today to advocate, highlight and build awareness of the transformative power of youth voices in making our world a more sustainable and healthy society. As famously quoted by Thunberg, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CAJuX7xed8o\">You are never too small to make a difference<\/a>,\u201d and a difference is never too small to impact the world.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the #YouthLead initiative by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/youthenvoy\/2023\/07\/youthday2023\/\">United Nations<\/a>\u00a0to celebrate International Youth Day.
