Considerations for Meaningful Collaboration: A Conversation with Indigenous Elders
Posted:
Campus:
This Special Event invites individuals and organizations to learn from Indigenous Elders on building meaningful collaboration in a respectful and culturally-informed manner to support efforts to end gender-based violence.
First Nations, Inuit, and Metis Elders will provide guidance on their roles relevant to their communities including their responsibilities to share and protect Indigenous ways of knowing.
Participants are encouraged to engage in their own critical reflection in terms of their intentions and purposes when including Elders in their work. Consider asking:
- Why are we inviting an Indigenous Elder?
- How are we honouring and respecting the knowledge and wisdom of Indigenous Elders in our work?
- How can we create ongoing relationships built on reciprocity within future Elder engagements?
This Special Event will have ASL interpretation and English closed-captioning. An event recording will be made available after the event. Register for the event and receive an email when the recording is posted!
