Building Local Relationships

Indigenous Perspectives Society: Centre of Excellence in Community Education (IPS) offers a 3-hour Building Local Relationships workshop, as one of our Cultural Perspectives courses. This training shares Indigenous cultural perspectives and promotes allyship.

In this workshop, participants explore ways both organizations and individuals can build strengths in areas that impact relationships with Indigenous individuals, organizations, and communities. It is strongly experiential, learning from the knowledge of invited speakers and by participating in sharing circles according to local protocols.

Workshop Outcomes:

• Identify how working from a place of sharing values positively influences decision-making and relationship building
• Deepen understanding of the importance of Reconciliation Plans, the TRC’s Calls To Action, and UNDRIP
• Identify an ally’s role and provide actionable ideas for building intercultural relationships
