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 2SLGBTQI+ 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.

Gwen Natsiq’s Story
Your mental health is the most important thing, it should be your top priority. You need to know who you are as a person, what your boundaries are, and what helps you feel better about being a good role model.
