Strengthening Languages and Cultures for the Next 25 Years
The Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre is pleased to announce the Circle of Knowledge & Practices 2024 will be held at the Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre in Winnipeg on October 3rd & 4th, 2024.
In 2024, the Manitoba First Nations Resource Centre (the Resource Centre) is celebrating 25 years of supporting First Nations education and students. During this anniversary year’s Circle of Knowledge and Practices Conference (#CKP2024), the Resource Centre’s management and staff will look to the next quarter of a century. The theme for #CKP2024 is Strengthening Languages and Cultures for the Next 25 Years.
First Nations youth truly are the future of First Nations communities and cultures. Since its inception, the Resource Centre has dedicated itself to improving educational outcomes for First Nations we serve and students. Mandated to create a system for First Nations by First Nations, the Resource Centre has expanded from a handful of employees to being the largest First Nations organization offering educational services and supports within Canada. From administration and audiology to bus drivers and buses to infrastructure and technology supports, and more, the Resource Centre now includes a wide range of services that assist and support First Nations students and staff in the schools as well as local political and education leaders.
This year’s #CKP2024 is dedicated to the next 25 years of First Nations learning in Manitoba. In the years to come, the Resource Centre will continue to produce educational resource materials that help educators teach local First Nations cultures, languages, and traditions. Join us for #CKP2024 as we explore the First Nations teachings and traditions of yesterday, today, and the next 25 years to come.
