In partnership with UVic’s Indigenous Education Department, our School Workshops crew was back in schools, connecting with young learners throughout the fall of 2021! The 2021 workshops were inspired by Dylan Thomas’s (Qwul’thilum’s) artworks from our latest Teacher Resource Guide with movement and sound activities facilitated by guest artist Alex Chen.

As we prepare for these school workshops we’re asking questions such as; How can we truly embody the First Peoples Principles of Learning in this work? In what ways will we share Dylan Thomas’s (Qwul’thilum’s) artwork (from our current Teacher Resource Guide) that will spark curiosity and excitement to learn more about his work and the work of many other Indigenous artists? And of course, how will we show up in ways that ensure young learners feel deeply respected, seen, and heard?

This is our fifth year collaborating with UVic’s Indigenous Education Department. It is an honor to learn and work together, and to be part of making sure Indigenous perspectives are celebrated and honored in local schools.
