What Can Nature Teach Us About Collaboration?

A lot! Geese rotate leadership mid-flight to guard against fatigue. Trees in forests share resources with younger or weaker trees to help them survive. Nature's pretty resourceful isn't it?

Our 4-week online course, Collaborative Leadership for Climate Action, looks to nature to help us understand why intentional, relationship-centered collaboration matters in sustainability-focused work.

We examine collaboration through a systems lens to understand how inequality worsens the climate crisis and explore how to approach partnerships from a place of solidarity rather than charity.

• Course Dates: April 20 - May 17, 2026

• Format: Online + 3 Live Zoom sessions

• Cost: $750 CAD

This course is offered in partnership with Royal Roads University.

Reflections from the Youth Environmental Leaders Learning Lab (YELL Lab)

This past October, ASI and The Starfish Canada welcomed 29 youth (ages 18 - 30) from across Canada to YELL Lab to connect nationwide, explore leadership concepts, and grow their careers in climate action and environmentalism.

Victoria Lim, who participated in the 2025 cohort, wrote a lovely summary of her experience in the program and reflections about each week's learnings and exercises.

 "I leave more confident than ever that in times of uncertainty, the simple act of convening and community fills us with the strength and empowerment to take on challenges." - Victoria Lim
