FREE ART AND SOCIAL ACTION WORKSHOP (FOR MIDDLE & SENIOR YEARS TEACHERS)
|
The workshop is being run by Jordyn Sheldon.
Jordyn Sheldon is in her final year of study in Human Rights and Rhetoric and Communications at the University of Winnipeg. She has been interested in human rights from a very young age, but as she grew older living in the city of Winnipeg, she discovered her passions were local in focus. Witnessing the impact of colonialism on the Indigenous peoples who call Winnipeg home has led her to advocate for decolonizing the education and justice systems as well as working towards reconciliation within them. She has pursued the work doing educational programming at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and as a volunteer with IRCOM and the United Way of Winnipeg. |
