鈥淏eing a Mohawk woman on a team that was half English, half French, it was like being in a little part of Canada and reconciling the different ways of knowing to be the strongest we can be. I knew we had this common goal of becoming Olympians鈥� when we kept our eye on the prize, we could figure out our way through these things鈥� What are we trying to create in this country? What are we trying to do as human beings, regardless if you are Mohawk or non-native, what are we trying to do for our children and grandchildren?鈥� - Waneek Horn-Miller
This International Development Week, as we learn more about our actions and efforts in building just, equitable, and sustainable communities locally and globally, we invite you for an evening of learning and introspection on the role our stories play in changemaking. Join us for an evening with Waneek Horn-Miller as we explore the concepts of peace and balance, and their role in communities, change-making, and reconciliation. In this moderated conversation, Waneek will discuss the evolution of her activism from 鈥渂eing raised at the knees of one of the first Native activists,鈥� to her involvement in the Oka crisis, to her role as the Director of Community Engagement for the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
Waneek, through her personal story of becoming an Olympian, will shed light on the role sports played in her life, the importance of building internal peace that then touches all our communities, and the importance of working towards incremental change that brings lasting, global impact.
Join us for an evening to think more about the role we play as ancestors to future generations, to identify the assets we have in ourselves and our communities, and to harness them effectively for healing and change in Canada and around the world.

The global disruption to education caused by the COVD-19 pandemic is unprecedented with severe consequences for children around the world. The crisis brought education systems across the world to a halt, with school closures affecting more than 1.6 billion learners. While nearly every country in the world offered remote learning opportunities for students, the quality and reach of such initiatives varied greatly and were at best partial substitutes for in-person learning. Now, 22 months later, schools remain closed for millions of children and youth, and millions more are at risk of never returning to education at all. Closing schools caused significant learning losses, and further exacerbated biopsychosocial impacts on children and youth, particularly those who are already marginalized and underserved.
Our panelists will discuss the state of education around the world, and consider where we go from here. They鈥檒l explore what can be done to shift from crisis to recovery, and beyond recovery. They鈥檒l discuss what resilient and adaptable education systems look like, and how to build a global commitment to ensuring learning and well-being for all children are prioritized.
Panelists:
- Dr. Prachi Srivastava, Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, Western University
- Irvin Studio, Chair, Worldwide Commission to Educate All Kids
- Fakhira Najib, Chief Executive Officer, Power99 Foundation
This panel will be moderated by Dr. Paul Bennett, Director, Schoolhouse Institute.
How effective are your questions? Do you worry about a sea of blank screens in online contexts or wonder about ways to check students are understanding, especially when teaching online? to listen or read about some practical advice to address these and other "questioning" concerns.

Happy Chinese New Year, Tigers!
Just as you can forward through a video, you can speed up a podcast. Since it is a digital file, you can speed up the episode without losing quality. At the bottom of the screen, you'll notice a speed icon. The default is set to 1, but you can zip through it in no time if you change it to 1.5 or 2 and still be able to follow along. Alternatively, you can always slow it down if the speaker is going too fast.
