June 4 | Sharing Back Our Knowledge: Development of the Indigenous Learning Pathways Training Program (Online)

Launching in Summer 2024, Indigenous Learning Pathways (ILP) is a multi-course online training program that supports new UBC employees with meaningfully and respectfully engaging with Indigenous histories, knowledges, perspectives, and realities in their role. Attend this session to learn more about the development process behind ILP, including partnership approaches, lessons learned along the way, and opportunities that emerged to create systemic change as we carved out space for this work.

June 5 | Disrupting Time and Space: Considerations in Community-Centred Evaluation (In-person, UBCV)

Join an exploration around the ways in which timelines impact community-centred evaluation processes. Together, we will dream beyond the boundaries of institutional concepts of time and space, creating strategies that support co-developing community-centred project evaluation that support respectful relationships between communities and project partners.

June 6–27 | Applying Anti-Racist Pedagogy in the Classroom program

Join this cohort-based program to explore anti-racist approaches and practices in the classroom while learning from others and building relationships in a collaborative learning environment. Participants will explore ways to embed anti-racist principles into your teaching practice and come away equipped to support IBPOC students.
