The University of Saskatchewan has received over $500K from the Spencer Foundation to support a multinational education project based in South Africa. The project’s first initiative will train youth in rural regions to become entrepreneurs in the green economy. The second initiative focuses on land-based education in South Africa as well as in Canada. Researchers and practitioners from Canada and South Africa will embark on learning exchanges to share the lessons they have learned about land-based education with each other. USask says that this is the first time that it has received grant funding from the Spencer Foundation.
