Syilx & Settler Pedagogy Circle (POSTPONED)
Facilitated by Kelly Terbasket (IndigenEyez), Kelly Hanson, & Jody Dlouhy-Nelson
Grappling "in the co-" with questions of co-curriculum makers on Syilx Okanagan Territory.
We are postponing the January 17 Circle as we understand teachers in Central Okanagan Public Schools have an opportunity to attend another speaker who has been rescheduled to January 17. Because we would like to provide all participants with the best possible chance of participating in the Syilx & Settler Pedagogy Circle, we will host it instead in February. More info to come.
