Event Description

From traditional Inuit knowledge to the arrival of the Moravian Mission to the establishment of schools since confederation: the legacy of western-based formal education in Nunatsiavut is a mixture of success and disappointments. In an effort to ensure future success, the Nunatsiavut Government has partnered with the Faculty of Education at Memorial University to address the question of how best to support a truly Inuit Education system, which is critically important to the future of Nunatsiavut.

Join us for a discussion about the past, present, and future of education in Nunatsiavut with expert panelists:
