Indigenous Awareness Learning ProgramDo you want to improve Indigenous inclusion in your P2 practice? Are you interested in building on your experiences working with Indigenous communities to deepen understanding and advance reconciliation through community engagement? IAP2 Canada is pleased and honored to announce that our Indigenous Awareness Program is now available for all IAP2 Canada members. One of the Indigenous Inclusion Action Plan activities is to develop a common foundation of understanding about the history and experiences of Indigenous Peoples in Canada within IAP2 Canada leadership, so that IAP2 Canada is better able to participate in reconciliation by advancing Indigenous inclusion within the organization and throughout the practice of P2 in Canada. The program, which was co-created with an Indigenous Elder and is exclusive to IAP2 Canada members, is a semi-structured, cohort-based learning program to help build awareness and understanding about the history and experiences of Indigenous Peoples in our country so they can better support Indigenous inclusion in their P2 and engagement practice. As a participant, you’ll be matched with a volunteer learning partner who has experience working with Indigenous communities and put in a cohort of no more than three people. Over the six-month duration of the program, you’ll work through four “assignments”, based on the traditional Medicine Wheel.
