Awareness training on indigenous realities for school staff
The Continuing Education Service of the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT), in collaboration with the Ministère de l'Éducation du Québec (MEQ), is offering two training courses whose objectives, although distinct, are aimed at improving the understanding of Indigenous peoples’ realities as well as the acquisition of skills that will enable the provision of culturally more appropriate educational services to First Nations and Inuit students.
WHEN?
Training in English are planned from September 2022 to March 2023.
DURATION OF TRAINING SESSIONS
Each course lasts 7 hours and takes place over a full day, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
