The ACE-WIL Professional Development Committee is pleased to announce this year’s learning and development theme:
RESET, REFRESH, REIMAGINE
ACE-WIL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT 2022
As we approach spring 2022, our world has been turned upside down through the various stages of the global pandemic and many of us are feeling tired. We have endured pandemic pivots at our post-secondary institutions and the speed of innovation has been mind boggling. It wasn’t that long ago when the ACE-WIL PD Committee planned all events in-person as remote PD was not part of our ecosystem. How things have changed!
Collectively, our membership has supported each other to adapt and thrive during a very stressful time. Following on the heals of the successful ACE-WIL Symposium and the amazing outcomes of all COWIL projects, our membership is well situated to embrace 2022 as a year to RESET, REFRESH and REIMAGINE within our collective WIL learning and development space.
Indigenous Resource Hub – a collective journey towards reconciliation in WIL
Join Karima Ramji, Renée Livernoche and Julianna Nielsen as we take tangible steps toward our collective journey of reconciliation. This presentation will explore the Indigenous WIL Resource Hub, and aims to help us decolonize our practices, strengthen our relationships and inspire us into action. Experience the self locating activity, watch the resources come alive and explore how to navigate difficult conversations with students, employers and colleagues. This is also an opportunity to share your ideas and thoughts on how you can use the resources in your practice.
