Special Session: First Nations Geoscience Forum
The First Nations Geoscience Forum brings Indigenous Elder knowledge holders together with professional Earth science educators and teachers to share their perspectives and explore the design of Earth science outreach and teaching programs. Participants will receive Indigenous teachings provided by First Nations elders on ancestral knowledge of Earth processes and a better understanding of how Earth science education is currently delivered in Manitoba. Breakout learning circles will allow participants to engage in refining common goals with the potential for positive outcomes in science education and future geoscientists in the Indigenous community.
