How UBC staff are integrating Indigenous ways of knowing into their community engagement work

Event details

The purpose of the session is to provide a supportive, encouraging space to share and learn how individuals and units/departments in the Community Engagement Network are integrating Indigenous ways of knowing, doing, being, and relating into their community engagement work — and how this is advancing the goals and actions of the Indigenous Strategic Plan.

This session picks up questions about culture change and settler responsibilities that came up in our October session on Weaving Relations.

We encourage participants to enroll in the Weaving Relations course.
