Indigenous youth share postcard series at Ped Day
October 25th, 2023
One of the workshops at Dawson’s 2023 Ped Day on Oct. 13 was Indigenous Youth Perspectives: Community Care and Practical Strategies, Bettering the Student Experience.
Two young people who are part of the presented a , one of the tools they have created to express themselves and to get people thinking and discussing.
This group has been meeting online and in person for a few years. Sébastien Lamarre-Tellier, a medical student at McGill University, is Innu and a member of the network’s youth advisory committee. Sebastien told that they have been “coming together to share our cultures, be visible and make some noise to show that our cultures are alive and growing.”
The postcard that stood out for many at Dawson was one with an image of two people in a canoe at the centre. The centre is bright and focused on Nature with positive words emphasized. The city and negative elements are there but in the background.
Sébastien said that young Indigenous people “need to express ourselves.” He also said they are looking for a guide in a teacher, someone “to walk in the forest with them.” The image of the canoe has the elder or the teacher in the back helping to steer.
Visit the link to see all the postcards, which can lead to great conversations and rich reflections.

Autonomisation enseignante grâce à l’élaboration et l’appropriation d’une approche réflexive et métacognitive de l’inclusion au collégial
Le mercredi 1er novembre à midi, rejoignez-nous pour une présentation des résultats d’une recherche portant sur l’adoption d’une posture réflexive et métacognitive en matière d’inclusion de la diversité en enseignement collégial. Grâce à une méthodologie basée sur la recherche-action collaborative réunissant des membres étudiants, enseignants, professionnels de quatre cégeps, l’équipe de projet a élaboré et expérimenté une démarche permettant à une personne enseignante de développer le réflexe de se questionner sur son propre rapport à la diversité et à son inclusion. Appuyée sur une vision concertée du rôle de l’enseignant ou de l’enseignante inclusive, l’équipe présentera les résultats obtenus et des avenues afin de les intégrer dans les pratiques et de les mettre à profit dans les établissements collégiaux.
- Sous-titrage pour les personnes sourdes ou malentendantes
