Youth Voices on Reconciliation
Youth Voices on Reconciliation was a day-long dialogue for students, teachers and administrators to discuss the role of the high school system in creating reconciliation among Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. A major output was a list of actionable ideas generated by participants for their districts and schools to consider for implementation.
The resulting dialogue report summarizes participant ideas for action under the following seven themes:
- Integrate Indigenous culture, arts and history in all subject areas
- Include Indigenous peoples in decision-making and the presentation of Indigenous knowledge
- Provide professional development opportunities for teachers
- Support student-driven reconciliation initiatives and provide resources towards these
- Model healthy relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples
- Hold cultural awareness activities for Indigenous students to learn about and proudly share their culture
- Increase Awareness of Indigenous history and heritage at a younger age
