Seeding Change: Introducing Kitigan Gamik Land-Based Curriculum
Recorded: March 26, 2024
Conditions for growing food are changing rapidly in the changing climate. While adaptation is needed, let's remember that food production has always been a land-based process with success contingent on the right conditions.
Tailored for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12, and framed within the whole-child framework, the Kitigan Gamik land-based curriculum offers teachers resources blending plant science and traditional Indigenous wisdom to integrate land-based and climate adaption into their teachings.
Join this introductory session where we will provide an overview of the Kitigan Gamik Land-based curriculum, its structure, and how it can be seamlessly integrated into existing programs.
