Come join us for this exciting training course and learn new tools to engage young people in social change using culturally grounded experiential tools to be held Nov 26-29 2015 at the South Thompson Inn & Conference Centre, Kamloops, BC.  

Level 2 facilitation credit available for those with level one.

This four-day course offers tangible tools and approaches for youth workers and practitioners to engage with young people and other community members to understand and reflect upon the complex realities of young people (in particular vulnerable Aboriginal young people), and to identify and implement changes in communities, programs and policies to enhance young people’s well-being and protection.

It draws from IICRD’s Circle of Rights methodology, a research and planning process to support social change and greater accountability for children, youth, their families, Elders and communities. The course applies creative and intentional engagement tools and processes and explores traditional Indigenous cultural approaches to working with young people with an emphasis on engaging and empowering young people in an ethical, adaptive, inclusive, assets/strengths based, developmentally appropriate, cultural, and contextualized manner. 

The November 2015 course is aimed at youth leaders and practitioners working with Aboriginal, Me`tis and Inuit children, youth and families.

Micheal Montgomery, IICRD's Partnerships and Practice Director, will be the lead facilitator for the course. Get to know him here.
