Expired Aansaamb aen kiskayhtaamaahk” (Learning Together) with Métis BC

“Aansaamb aen kiskayhtaamaahk – Learning Together” (Heritage Michif, translated by Norman Fleury) is a professional learning guide, resource kit and three professional development workshops intended to support early learning and child care professionals to integrate Métis content in early years programming. The three workshops provide additional opportunities to support incorporating Métis specific teachings within early learning programming, promoting learning environments in which Métis culture is recognized and celebrated.

This is a Three – Session workshop with 6 hours in total, each session is 2 hours long – the 6 hours certificate will be provided. Session one and two are online and the last session is in person.

Please note that once you have registered, you registered for the whole 6 hours. The zoom link will be sent out the day before the session.

Sessions one (online) – provides a brief foundational overview of who the Métis are and why it is important to include Métis content and pedagogy in early childhood education.

Session two (online) – introduces the Métis Core Values related to learning. It also addresses the concept of cultural safety and provides strategies on how to create a culturally safe learning environment to support the well-being of all children.

Session three (in-person in NSCR Community Room) – provides information on how to use the Aansaamb aen kiskayhtaamaahk cultural resources.
