Healing the Wound with the Weapon: Post-secondary Education and Reconciliation

Session held on May 2, 2019

This session explores the role of institutions, such as universities, in reconciliation. We are not responsible for having created the problems, but we have all inherited the wreckage of broken relationships. We have also inherited tools and opportunities to create change. This session will discuss practical ways that we can work together in post-secondary to move forward in a good way.
