For any undergraduate students looking to take a 3 credit summer course, here is a cool opportunity!

This summer course on the topic of Pathways of Indigenous Youth Engagement will be a chance to reflecting collectively on the multiple ways in which Indigenous youth are mobilizing and are being engaged. Youth, Indigenous partners and researchers will explore – through varied interactive spaces and mediums – these forms, issues and visions of the future. The topics covered will include, among others, engagement in community mobilization, culture, healing, protection of the land, art, intergenerational transmission, governance and research. To sign up, an application form is available at the end of the page.

From June 5th to 9th, 2023, on the downtown Concordia University campus, we will be reflecting collectively on the multiple ways in which Indigenous youth are mobilizing and are being engaged.
