Conference November 2018

Interested in learning more about teaching Indigenous topics in secondary schools? I will be holding a seminar at an international teaching conference in Germany, 1-2 November 2018.

The conference in general is a great opportunity to meet practising teachers from all over the world, with a multitude of workshops on different topics.

Conference November 2017

Shawn Andrews, founder of Indigicate, came over to run a two day workshop for Norwegian upper secondary school teachers on how to teach about Indigenous peoples. We looked at theory and practical techniques in teaching, as well as what is currently being taught in our textbooks.
