Authentic Indigenous Solidarity: A Holistic Approach for ECE

This 5-hour workshop, “Authentic Indigenous Solidarity: A Holistic Approach for Early Childhood Educators,” empowers educators to embrace culturally responsive education and decolonization in the classroom. Through interactive activities, participants explore their internal responsibility, heal from colonial wounds, and connect with the Land for personal and collective growth. The workshop also equips educators with somatic practices to develop healing, navigate difficult conversations around Indigenous history, and create inclusive, community-driven learning environments. Participants will leave with actionable strategies and a commitment to authentic solidarity.

Sign-in begins at 8:15am.
