Creating cultural safety for Indigenous students at the university

This 75-minute workshop in a circle format will begin with a presentation co-facilitated by two (2) Indigenous Advisors at Concordia on creating safe learning spaces for Indigenous students at the University.  The second part of the workshop will allow participants to share and discuss. This workshop aims to provide participants with an understanding of what cultural safety means for Indigenous students within the institution in the context of the upcoming September 30th’s 3rd National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.

After completing this workshop, participants may:

• Recognize the lived reality of Indigenous students outside and within the classrooms. 
• Identify Indigenous peoples’ decolonial and holistic approaches.
• Determine appropriate and trauma-informed approaches to creating safe learning spaces.
• Familiarize yourself with available resources to guide you in creating culturally safe spaces.
