SUMMARY:Anti-Colonial Week: The Kairos Blanket Exercise
DESCRIPTION:Anti-Colonial Week: The Kairos Blanket Exercise\nThis event is FREE. Register at the link here to guarantee your spot. \nCo-organized by QPIRG McGill\, QPIRG Concordia\, GRIP UQAM\, and Le Frigo Vert \nDate: Jan 24th at 6pm \nLocation: QPIRG Concordia (2100 Rue Guy\, #205) \nIn 1996\, the Aboriginal Rights Coalition worked with Indigenous elders\, Knowledge Keepers\, and educators to develop an interactive way of learning the history most Canadians are never taught. The KAIROS Blanket Exercise was the result; an interactive and experiential teaching tool that explores the historic and contemporary relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in so called Canada. It has since been offered thousands of times and the fourth edition was released in 2016. \nDuring this 2 to 3-hour workshop\, participants step on blankets representing the land and into the role of First Nations\, Inuit and Métis peoples. They are guided by trained facilitators\, including Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers\, who work from a script that covers pre-contact\, treaty-making\, colonization\, resistance and much more. Participants read scrolls and respond to cues in the script. The KBE concludes with a debriefing\, conducted as a talking circle\, during which participants discuss the learning experience\, process their feelings\, ask questions\, share insights\, and deepen their understanding. \nAccessibility \nQPIRG-Concordia has two entrances. The entrance at 2100 Guy has one flight of stairs.\nFor step-free access\, use the entrance at 1625 de Maisonneuve Ouest.\nBuzz #0205 to be let through the automatic doors\, then take the elevator up to the second floor. The door to our space can be opened by automated button\, and swings out.\nThere is a paid parking lot beside our building\, entrance on Guy. \nAbout Anti-Colonial Week \nJoin us for Anti-Colonial Week\, a grassroots initiative that’s been evolving since its humble beginnings as the Anti-Colonial Dinner in 2015.
