Series: Celebrate Learning Week
Event Date & Time
Event Description
Kevin Lamoureux is the keynote speaker for Celebrate Learning Week 2019.
This session will explore the role of institutions, such as universities, in reconciliation. We are not responsible for having created the problems, but we have all inherited the wreckage of broken relationships. We have also inherited tools and opportunities to create change. We will discuss practical ways that we can work together in post-secondary to move forward in a good way.
