Currently Accepting Workshop Facilitator Submissions (2012 Closed)
This year’s symposium will focus on the topic of embodying Indigenous women’s knowledges. The format of the symposium will provide participants with an opportunity to engage in "ji-kendimon ezhi-chigeyan" (learning by doing; knowing what you are doing-through active participation). Workshops will be interactive and will allow participants to explore how they can develop relationships with knowledge as opposed to being passive observers. The format of the conference will also allow participants to network and develop relationships with each other as they move through various workshops in groups. This year we are looking for workshop facilitators who can offer workshops in the following areas:
-
Traditional foods: will share knowledge about various Indigenous traditional foods while preparing those foods with participants. Participants will eat this food for lunch on Saturday March 24;
-
Artistic Performance: including dance and theatre, powwow dancing, hip-hop dancing, singing, etc..;
-
Beading, basket-making, quill work, sewing, regalia making, moccasins, carving, hand drums and shakers, painting, drawing, etc..;
-
Poetry, creative writing, spoken word, etc..
-
Health and wellbeing
These are just some possibilities of workshops that fit within "ji-kendimon ezhi-chigeyan" and the overall topic of embodying Indigenous women’s knowledges. The symposium committee welcomes other ideas for workshops that fit within the topic and theme of the symposium.
Individuals interested in facilitating (or co-facilitating) a workshop for this years symposium should submit a workshop proposal by email or fax to: Indigenous Women’s Symposium: indigenouswomenssymposium2012@gmail.com or by fax: attention: Indigenous Women’s Symposium. Fax proposals to 705-748-1416. Proposals for workshops must be received by January 31, 2012.
