Learning Series on Indigenous Knowledge & Western Science: Collaboration, Relationship, and Climate Solutions

The inaugural Online Learning Series, "Indigenous Knowledge & Western Science: Collaboration, Relationship, and Climate Solutions", was hosted virtually in collaboration with the Land Peace Foundation between April-June, 2021.

In this series, participants were invited to widen the lens through which they view science, decision-making and climate solutions. The first sessions of this series focused on the history and present of the colonial apparatus, as well as different knowledge systems and why they are important to understand. Later sessions helped participants reflect on the nature of relationships and develop meaningful, balanced & ethical partnerships.
