Description

This two-day virtual workshop will explore opportunities and challenges to conducting Indigenous-led community-based participatory research training in post-secondary institutions. The event will include sessions
reflecting on:
  • the experiences of Indigenous & non-Indigenous students
  • academics experiences of bridging priorities to meet the needs of communities, students, & institutions
  • engaged discussions together with community members
Day 2 will be a guided co-development of a vision and strategy

Goals 

to articulate a strategy to co-develop a research training program that
  • provides students and community learners with the values and skills for sustained relationships 
  • Positively impacts self-identified priorities of Indigenous communities for wellness and success
  • Contributes to the transformation of post-secondary experiences for students across disciplines by adopting a Two-Eyed Seeing approach
​Coming out of this workshop, we anticipate a tangible plan for the co-development of a community-led emergent research training program that is interdisciplinary, interinstitutional, reflects a Two-Eyed Seeing approach, and encourages a mutually respectful alliance between Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners.
