A Launching Kit for Learning Activities Centered about the 1987 Summits in Canada = Trousse de Reference Concernant les Activites D'apprentissage Axees sur les Sommets de 1987 au Canada.
Reford-McCandless International Inst., Toronto (Ontario).
This kit, designed for use in elementary and secondary school classrooms and community groups, presents information and interdisciplinary learning activities that focus on two 1987 Canadian summit meetings. One summit, the Commonwealth of Nations meeting in Vancouver, involved countries with a legacy as British colonial nations; and the other, La Francophonie summit in Quebec, featured countries that speak the French language and incorporate a French culture. The kit contains booklets that: (1) describe Canada's role and history in the Commonwealth of Nation's and the organization's "Declaration of Principles"; (2) discuss Canada's role in and relationship to La Francophonie; and (3) provide learning activities, discussion questions, and resource lists. Issues central to both summit meetings are described in brief documents and include such topics as: (1) human concerns; (2) science, technology, environment, and resources; (3) culture and education; (4) peace and order; (5) economic cooperation; (6) women and development; and (7) telecommunications. A poster, wall map, and evaluation form are included. (JHP)
