First Light offers educational experiences through our Indigenous Cultural Diversity Training program to learn about the Indigenous groups in our province, our history, and how that information can be beneficial to our community as a whole. It is important that we not only learn about the cultural differences that we may see across different groups, and understand the history behind them but that we examine each learner’s own culture and how that impacts our everyday lives. These sessions are provided in a safe space, meant for individuals and groups to come together and gain Indigenous knowledge, enhance self-awareness and they are great professional development opportunities for any professional working with Indigenous people

Our one-hour training is a very basic introduction to the Indigenous groups and history of our province. Presented in a lecture format, this session does not include videos or activities. Unfortunately, there is not enough time for a question period in this format.
Our three-hour training is a more in-depth introduction to the Indigenous groups and history of our province. Still very content heavy, the presentation does include a few videos and one activity. There is a small amount of time for questions at the end of the session.
RECOMMENDED FOR: Anyone interested in gaining an understanding of Indigenous cultures in the province.
NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: Minimum – 3 Maximum – 50
COST: $55/participant
