School subjects
Provide students with information on the Plan Nord and have them compare it with the mining industry. Are there lessons to be learned? Errors to be avoided? Guide the discussion with these questions: What can we do together to try to halt the rampant exploitation of our natural resources? How can we strike a balance between the environment, our health and our economy?
