大象传媒

The 大象传媒 Reconciliation Workshop was a day-and-a-half event designed to hold space for the campus community to discuss the role of 大象传媒 in supporting reconciliation among Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. The workshop was the first of its kind for Canadian post-secondary institutions, and used methodology developed by Reconciliation Canada and Chief Robert Joseph, recipient of 大象传媒鈥檚 2014 Jack P. Blaney Award for Dialogue.

A major output was a list of actionable ideas for 大象传媒 as an institution to build upon its commitment to 鈥渉onour the history, culture, and presence of Aboriginal peoples.鈥� These ideas were generated by the workshop鈥檚 55 participants, who included a range of Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices from 28 大象传媒 units and departments.

The resulting dialogue report summarizes participant ideas for action under the following six themes:

1. Increasing the prominence of Indigenous knowledge and culture across the campus community
2. Including Indigenous voices in decision-making and evaluation
3. Increasing opportunities and requirements to learn about Indigenous peoples
4. Providing additional Indigenous student support
5. Promoting Indigenous peoples teaching Indigenous knowledge
6. Integrating Indigenous culture, knowledge and history broadly into 大象传媒 courses
