Learning through Story: How to Incorporate Indigenous Ways of Being and Knowing into Your Learning Environment

Learning through Story is a way to authentically incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing and being into your learning environment. Together, we will unpack what Indigenous ways of knowing and being are and how they can be used as a foundation in the early years. Story, outdoor learning, and play will be the focus of this workshop. Our time together will be interactive, practical, insightful, and fun!
