This session aims to build educators’ awareness and knowledge of Métis history, culture and way of life by going through the items in the MNO ELCC Education Kit.

The objectives of this presentation are:

• To build educators’ awareness and knowledge of Métis history, culture, and way of life.
• Access to Métis-specific Early Learning and Child Care programming.
• Provide opportunities for Métis children to learn off the land and grow within their culture.
• To build on the Educators’ confidence to use Métis-specific cultural items from the Educator Kit in their early learning and child care settings daily.
• Children will engage with and foster a deeper understanding of Métis culture.
• To enhance the Educators’ knowledge about appropriation versus appreciation.

The MNO ELCC Advisors hope to build educators’ capacity and confidence in implementing Métis culture and curriculum into their classrooms.

Sponsored by The Métis Nation of Ontario. All attendees will receive an Education Kit from MNO! Space is limited.
