Hi everyone, today we will be recapping the recent PLP event the winter exhibition. Each exhibition is a great way for us to get involved with the community by presenting to parents, students, and staff alike.
Our project for this exhibition was ReconciliACTION, focusing on Reconciliation towards Indigenous Peoples. There were 7 different groups representing the different aspects of Reconciliation. Today we will focus on the 94 Calls to Action, seeing as that’s what my group focused on.
How might we engage in meaningful Reconciliation?
We can educate ourselves on the history and impact of colonialism, particularly residential schools. We must reflect on what Reconciliation means and, importantly, what it is not. Another step we can take is exploring the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and take steps to support Indigenous communities.
In our booth, we had a very good activity where everyone wrote their own Call to Action, meaning how they could contribute to Reconciliation. Here are the results. Feel free to add your own Call to Action!
Also in our presentation, we created an interactive poster and presentation, both seen here.
Out of all this, the poster and the presentation represent my learning the best, and they are collectively everything that I have learned.
Thank you so much for reading, I hope you learned something!
