Where to begin
Not sure how to approach learning about this complex topic? Start by developing learning objectives for yourself.
Supporting government commitments to reconciliation requires ongoing learning. Everyone has different levels of understanding. It’s important to develop learning objectives specific to your needs.
Here are some examples to consider:
- Understand the history and importance of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action (PDF, 298KB), understand the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and B.C. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act and how to use them in your work
- Increase understanding of shared history between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, the impacts of colonization and early government policies
- Develop skills in using a trauma-informed approach to service delivery and engagement
- Use a strengths-based practice
Once you know what your objectives are, you can look at how to meet them through the learning opportunities available on the LearningHUB.
