Reconciliation in Education

Calls to Action
We wish to acknowledge that this work has been done on Treaty 6 territory,
the traditional land of the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Metis, and Nakota Sioux.

In 2016, John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights (JHC) engaged in a
collaborative pilot project with five schools in Edmonton Catholic and Edmonton
Public Schools called Advancing Reconciliation in Education.

We have created a meaningful process whereby students explore reconciliation from a


rights-based lens. The pilot program consisted of nine learning sessions and three
student-led Call to Action sessions. We invited elders and community members to
share their knowledge on a variety of important topics such as Indigenous language,
worldview and treaty.

Our goal in Advancing Reconciliation is to create safe spaces for Indigenous


students and their peers to discuss, recommend, and develop student-led initiatives
that promote reconciliation in their schools and communities. These are the
participating schools Calls to Action, which use interactive arts-based learning
approaches that focus on Indigenous voices and issues in Canada.
