Frankly Speaking

MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER: RESURGENCE AND RECONCILIATION IN INDIGENOUS EDUCATION Wednesday, October 17th, 2018 | 100 Neville Scarfe 5:30 PM to 8:00PM Dear Colleagues, You are invited to join Dr. Blye Frank, Dean of Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia, for the third installment of the FRANKLY SPEAKING event on Wednesday, October 17th, 2018. In the spirit of ideas worth advancing, the theme will be Indigenous Education. In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released a list of 94 Calls to Action that would start the reconciliation process between Indigenous people and the settlers of Canada. The reconciliation process is indeed a process – a process that starts with education. And through education, we better understand the history, policies, practices and decisions that affect First Nations in Canada, and that have led us to today. The Right Honourable Paul Martin will introduce the Martin Family Initiative (MFI), a charitable organization created by his family to improve educational outcomes among Aboriginal youth through innovation and collaboration. FRANKLY SPEAKING provides alumni and friends of the Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia, with the opportunity to hear from prominent speakers on featured topics relevant to the field of education.
