Decolonizing & Bridge Building: Indigenous Peoples in Social Enterprise
This two hour workshop, led by Krista Bissiallon, will explore heart-work in relation to social entrepreneurship in both a historical and modern context. The interactive nature of this workshop will allow space and time for participants to collaboratively uncover strategies for better, informed engagement with Indigenous people throughout Ontario.
Through thoughtfully guided conversations, participants will leave with a better understanding of:
– Indigenous knowledge in relation to social enterprise;
– Diverse perspectives on social enterprise, social economies, and;
– An increased capacity for awareness and bridge-building within community in a good way.
