The “Learning Our Indigenous History” program aims to combine aspects of both adult and family literacy, engaging adults, parents/caregivers, children, and youth.

The objective of the program is to empower Indigenous people to share their personal histories and stories while deepening their understanding of Indigenous history and culture. It equips learners with the tools to share, collect, and record stories and supports Indigenous adults in strengthening literacy skills and fostering social connections. Through storytelling, the program seeks to honour and validate participants’ experiences and histories.

Family Literacy is an intergenerational education initiative that combines adult literacy instruction with early childhood education for families. The program incorporates four key elements: basic skills instruction for parents, shared parent-child learning experiences, and parent education and support groups.

The program is designed to achieve social and emotional growth while enhancing intellectual skills, including reading, writing, and expanding vocabulary.

This program will be conducted virtually over 10 weeks and will include two 10-week workshops, each accommodating approximately 20 learners.
