Aboriginal Education
Students Participate in TDSB Arts Co-op Program: Across ExperiencesAcross Experiences aims to build cross-cultural understanding with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students through storytelling, theatre, dance, and new media. Again this year, Aboriginal perspectives have been woven into all options of the program. Students were mentored and supported by Aboriginal Elders and artists, as they were encouraged to draw upon their diverse backgrounds to tell their story through drama, dance and media. Priority consideration in enrolment was given to Aboriginal students interested in developing and sharing their creativity, in embarking on a shared learning experience in conjunction with their non-Aboriginal peers. The program culminated with a four-week tour of Gr. 7/8 schools and a Gala Showcase Performance at the Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young People on June 11, 2013. |
