Symposium on Indigenous Land-Based Educational Practices

In partnership with various Indigenous and community-based educational organizations, and land-based environmental initiatives, Concordia University’s Office of Decolonizing and Indigenizing Curriculum and Pedagogy presents the Symposium on Indigenous Land-Based Educational Practices: Perspectives on Climate Action.

Open to all, this day of events brings together Indigenous environmental leaders, Knowledge Keepers, scholars, and educators whose work is grounded in community-led and land-based approaches that are essential to advancing Indigenous-led responses to climate change.

Through shared learning, critical reflection, and collective dialogue, participants will engage with topics and initiatives that are strengthening Indigenous climate solutions, including: Food sovereignty and traditional foodways; Indigenous rights and governance; Language and cultural revitalization; Community self-determination, sustainability, and resilience; Intergenerational knowledge sharing; Protection of lands and waters; Resistance to ongoing colonial incursions; and Education rooted in Indigenous land-based knowledge systems.

This gathering is an opportunity to foster meaningful exchange, deepen understanding, and support action toward just and sustainable futures.
