Building Bridges Through Understanding the Village – In Person Workshop – October 2023
The Building Bridges through Understanding the Village workshop will provide educators with the opportunity to cognitively and emotionally comprehend how colonization affected Indigenous communities throughout generations. The participants will learn how to begin the process of decolonizing the education system in order to create culturally appropriate early childhood education programs. In her master thesis, Laura Jane Buchanan wrote: “This workshop is geared to solutions rather than recrimination and is a forum in which to ask questions.” The training maintains a non-blame and non-shame perspective and is an invitation to participants to become part of the ongoing healing that is already taking place in many Indigenous ‘villages’. Presenter: Kathi Camilleri Please note: – This workshop will be addressing Residential Schools and their effects in an in‐depth way. Participation may trigger unresolved grief and loss issues for some. – Each participant will receive a copy of Speaking Our Truth: A Journey of Reconciliation book by Monique Gray Smith. – Doors open at 8:30 am. – Light lunch and refreshments will be provided. This initiative is funded through the Canada-British Columbia Early Learning and Child Care (ELCC) Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia, in partnership with the Westcoast Child Care Resource Centre (WCCRC), the agency responsible for administering the funds. SUITABLE FOR ALL EARLY LEARNING AND CHILD CARE PROFESSIONALS
