We are excited to extend a field trip invitation to grades 6,7 and 8 students to participate in an innovative and inspiring high school presentation on Indigenous culture, history, and engagement.
At Laureate College, we are committed to promoting diversity, inclusion, and cultural understanding among our student body. As part of this commitment, we are launching a special project to explore and celebrate the rich heritage of Indigenous peoples across Canada.
Stations will be set up around our campus. Each station will be focused on one of the six Indigenous cultural regions across Canada. Our students will offer six interactive and informative displays for your students to enjoy and learn from. We will offer students a unique opportunity to:
We believe participation in this project will enrich educational experiences by enhancing any existing Indigenous-based curriculum you offer and foster empathy, respect, and appreciation for Indigenous cultures and peoples.
If you are interested in being part of this transformative journey, please join us at Laureate College, 1921 Snake Road, Burlington, ON, on May 9th, 2024. The program will run from 9:30 am until 11:30 am and take 1.5-2 hours to complete, including refreshments and a campus tour. Please register your school group online. Spaces are limited to 60 students.
We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting initiative and working together to create a more inclusive and culturally responsive learning environment.
