Lesson Plan ᐅᓂᒃᑳᑦ
Self-Expression, Social Equity

ᐅᕙᖓᐅᔪᖓ

This new campaign was designed to celebrate diversity and promote inclusion, while encouraging meaningful conversations among community members across the territory.

Uvangaujunga includes content related to 2SLGBTQIA+ identities, mentions prejudiced language and covers sensitive topics. This material is intended for educational purposes only and aims to foster awareness, inclusion, and respectful dialogue.

A three-part video series that explores themes of identity, inclusion, and allyship are available.
Educators could showcase the videos to students as a way to spark dialogue and encourage youth to be inclusive, compassionate, and accepting of all individuals.

To encourage discussions as a group, there are also lesson plans that allows students to dive deeper into foundational concepts. Each video topic has a partnered lesson plan with the same title.

All Videos are available in four languages. Inuktitut, Inuinnaqtun, French, and English.
If you do not see the all videos below, they can be found on Youtube at: Uvangaujunga Playlist
