See Us, Learn Us: A New Perspective on Teaching Identity, Belonging and the Black Canadian Experience

This engaging and interactive on-demand webinar series will provide you with new perspectives on strengthening identity and belonging at school through teaching and learning about the Black Canadian experience.

This five-part series uses video, music, spoken word, and practical resource ideas to engage participants and build the confidence that is needed to address the current realities of Black Canadians across school and district communities.

Engaging in this series will help all educators and staff across districts to: acknowledge that racism is a current and systemic problem; educate themselves about overt racism and the impact of racial microaggressions; take meaningful steps to persist through challenges and mistakes through a journey of learning and growth, with mutual respect and appreciation for the diversity and richness within Black Canadian communities.

All participants will receive an individualized professional learning certificate upon completion of this series.

Webinars will be available to view on-demand through to July 2024.

This five-part series is available for individual registration or can be purchased for school-wide or district use. Contact your Nelson representative here.
