April 30th, 2023 | EVALUATION
A key goal of the Polar Literacy project was to develop educational materials – including learning kits and videos – that address Polar Literacy Principles1 and that engage youth in participatory learning opportunities in informal education settings. The expectation is that educational materials will continue to be disseminated and used after the four-year grant period in both online and in person learning environments. Toward this end, project staff are working to ensure that Polar Literacy activities are available online.
