Advancing Reconciliation in the Classroom

n 2016, the John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights engaged in a collaborative pilot project with five schools in Edmonton Catholic and Edmonton Public School Boards called Advancing Reconciliation in Education. This project inspired the creation of a toolkit directed to teachers and community educators with a full curriculum (lessons, activities, etc) to provide teachers across the province with a meaningful process to educate about our shared history and work towards reconciliation in the classroom. This session provides the opportunity to work through the sessions of the toolkit, engage in important dialogue, and participate in learning activities based on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
