From Nov 12-14, UFV will join over 100 countries in celebrating International Education Week and Canada\u2019s engagement around the world.
\nThe theme identified for UFV for 2014 is \u201cExploring Global Indigeneity\u201d where events and discussions will highlight the connections between local and global indigenous peoples, and our interactions and stories shared together.
\nUFV International has collaborated with various departments, offices, and clubs at University of the Fraser Valley to produce a diverse and engaging series of events for the week.
\nThe UFV Aboriginal Student Club (ASC) has taken on a great role for the week and is co-organizing the event UFV Talks: Empowering Youth \u2014 Local and Global Indigenous Peoples with UFV Student Life.<\/p>\n
ASC president Morris Prosser explains his perspective on the importance of highlighting global indigeneity: “By showcasing Indigenous peoples, one is stating that these cultures are alive and well. This recognition allows Indigenous people to teach others who we are through our own Culture and History. Our worldview has the potential to enrich those willing to learn, and can result in collaboration between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous so that we may walk forward in peace and understanding.” Wed, Nov 12<\/strong> <\/p>\n http:\/\/www.ufv.ca\/iew<\/a><\/p>\n For more information, contact Chelsey Laird at chelsey.laird@ufv.ca<\/a><\/p>\n 11\/15\/2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From Nov 12-14, UFV will join over 100 countries in celebrating International Education Week and Canada\u2019s engagement around the world.
