Learning Together: Indigenization & Reconciliation Discussion Circle

March 8, 2023 @ 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM PST

Join fellow colleagues for a lunch time discussion circle to learn together about how we begin to approach Indigenization and reconciliation at snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓ Langara College as educators and allies.

In this weekly series, co-facilitators Earl Einarson and James Martin will lead a discussion that draws on key topics from BC Campus’s Pulling Together: Indigenization Guides (no advance reading necessary, but do come with an open mind and heart).

The series aims to bring Indigenous and non-Indigenous colleagues together to share and co-learn through discussion. Weekly circles will focus on topics such as the context for integrating Indigenous worldviews into Western education, what it means to be an ally in these efforts, and challenges that we may face working through this process both as individuals and as a public institution.

 

Sessions will be online and will be held Wednesdays on Feb. 15, (no session Feb. 22 for reading break), Mar. 1, Mar. 8, and Mar. 15 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. We strongly encourage participants to make time to attend every session in the series.  (Minimum of 7 participants required to hold discussion circles)
