Northwest Community College (NWCC) is a recognized leader in Aboriginal education. Each year NWCC hosts Challenging the Paradigm — a gathering to share ideas and innovative approaches to decolonize post-secondary education. Here, Aboriginal and mainstream pedagogical paradigms are integrated to the benefit of the learner and those who serve their needs.

Why you should attend

The gathering will frame discussions around decolonizing the education system. Participants will experience:

• Teaching — engagement with local communities enables teaching and learning from the land

• Learning — workshops and field trips immerse you in Aboriginal culture and knowledge

• Knowing — take away teaching methods that integrate and work in both worlds

·         • Scholars                       • Education Coordinators                  • Advisors
