Comox Valley Community Foundation

Learn tools to help you effectively engage with Indigenous people working towards collaboration and reconciliation.

Comox Community Centre

CVCF is please to offer &quot;Effective Engagement with Indigenous People&quot; workshop for members of the Comox Valley for-impact sector only. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) has stated that today’s businesses and governments shall consult and cooperate in good faith with Indigenous people. Formulating effective alliances and relationships works towards the spirit of reconciliation; a path we all need to walk together on to enact change. Understanding how to have these effective engagements within our western organizations, and knowing how to navigate some of these protocols based on respect, can improve relationships and the experience for all involved. As stated in the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, there is a strong need to increase opportunities for intercultural training, promote awareness, histories and perspectives. ‘Wi’la’mola is an Indigenous owned and operated organization trained in facilitation, mediation and conflict resolution; specializing in education. Our workshop is geared to help facilitate that learning and provide tangible tools that will help you effectively engage with Indigenous people. Through this workshop you will learn about…1.	Allyship – First Step to Reconciliation2.	Why it’s important and required to work with Indigenous people.3.	Specific logistics to create a functional and culturally respectful space.4.	Understanding of Indigenous communication styles, territory importance, decision making, data sovereignty, consultation and accountability.5.	Where your organization will benefit from increased/improved engagement with Indigenous people.6.	Raising your level of self-awareness.Although not required, we encourage organizations to send 2 staff or board who have previously participated in Building Bridges: Through Understanding the Village Workshop led by Kathi Camilleri. The workshop is free to attend and is an in-person event for current Comox Valley non-profit board members and staff ONLY. This workshop and those that will follow in 2023 are part of CVCF’s $20,000 commitment to support the charitable and not-for-profit sector through training and development for staff and volunteers.
