Knowledge is a gift that we receive and share. Reflected in the Seven Sacred Teachings, “to cherish knowledge is to know wisdom”, it is with gratitude that we listen, build and share knowledge.
Build understanding, knowledge and create commitments to advance Truth, Reconciliation and Indigenous Inclusion in your organization.
We support organizational learning that helps teams build knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to advance Reconciliation and Indigenous inclusion in your organization. Our interactive and tailored sessions will help your team deepen their understanding of Indigenous histories and perspectives and build the knowledge and skills for your organization to build respectful and accountable relationships with Indigenous Peoples and communities.
Our workshops and learning sessions are designed to create a supportive space for learning, growth, dialogue and reflection.
Our sessions combine presentations with discussion, group activities, multimedia tools, and practical examples that encourage participants to question assumptions, explore new perspectives, and consider how their organization can contribute to positive change. We aim to create a non-judgmental and respectful environment where participants can take risks, ask questions, and engage thoughtfully with complex topics.
Each workshop or session can be taken on its own as a unique learning experience. Each can be delivered as a stand-alone learning experience or combined into a series to support your journey or to best align with the creation of a Truth and Reconciliation Roadmap, Action Plan or for moving through the CCIB PAIR Program.
