Talking Circles
Talking Circles
Every Thursday, from September through April at 11:30-1:00
(except for the month of December and on holidays)
Focused on creating opportunities for Elders to become fundamental sources of support and guidance for Indigenous students, every week a Talking Circle is led by local Elder Joyce Underwood and gives students a chance to take part in an open, honest dialogue about their struggles in the post-secondary environment, and receive feedback from both the Elder involved and their peers. Over 300 Indigenous students and staff took part throughout the 2009/2010 school year, making Talking Circles a vital building block in the very foundation of Indigenous student support at UVic.
"... When we know we are loved , we can make mistakes, that just goes with our teachings..." -Skip Dick, Songhees Elder
