On Tuesday, August 27th and Wednesday, August 28th, 2024, the Centre for Human Rights Research at the University of Manitoba and the Winnipeg School Division will welcome elementary, middle, and secondary educators to the “Putting the Knowing and Teaching of Canada’s Past in the Hot Seat” workshop.
The free two-day workshop, held at the University of Manitoba and Wolseley School, will facilitate discussions of how we might best teach and learn Canadian history in a way that acknowledges Indigenous histories and ongoing histories of colonialism. This will include presentations from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and scholar of education, curriculum, and pedagogy, Dr. Lindsay Gibson.
