The UBC Faculty of Education has long been a leader in Indigenous education and research. Its new initiative, Walk With Us: The Path Towards Reconciliation, will advance Indigenous-led social change, uplift communities and move reconciliation forward.
Here are some ways your support can make a difference:
- A new home for Indigenous storytelling: The new Indigenous Storytelling Centre will support storytelling, relational learning and truth-telling practices that help shape how future educators learn, teach and advance reconciliation.
- Advancing Indigenous-led social change: The Social Change Project Hub will provide Indigenous graduate students with mentorship, support, and dedicated spaces to strengthen community connections, advance their work and develop leadership skills that benefit Indigenous communities.
- Teacher education that starts in home communities: Community-based field centres through NITEP and the Learn-and-Earn program help Indigenous teacher candidates study, work and teach while remaining connected to home.
- Empowering pathways through student awards: Scholarships, awards and financial support help Indigenous youth access post-secondary education and pursue their academic and career goals.
With your support, the UBC Faculty of Education can continue to improve Indigenous education outcomes and encourage Indigenous youth to pursue post-secondary education. Together, we can shape how future leaders and educators teach—ensuring Indigenous knowledge strengthens communities and helps solve some of the world’s most challenging issues.
Give today to invest in Indigenous futures and educational opportunities at UBC.
