Akulivik Students Get Published

Under the guidance of their teacher, Quinn Carter, secondary 3,4, and 5 English students from Akulivik worked tirelessly on preparing a photo essay about their community. The students were responsible for creating a collection of their writing describing their community. This group is the fourth to participate in this project which is masterminded and organized by Blue Metropolis, a Montreal based non-profit organization. One of the objectives of the project is for students to reflect on what makes their community unique and express and share their reflections in written form. Past topics by groups from Nunavik have included: dog sled teams, Inuit now and then, and community activities. This year, the participating class focused on the school and its role within the community.

Connecting across the North

Exciting things are happening with the English elementary students across Nunavik this year.  Since September 2009, one elementary English class from each village has been participating in a cultural project which has encouraged them to learn more about their own culture, reflect on their thoughts and ideas, and will soon permit them to discover their connectedness to other students in Nunavik.

Congratulations to the Amaruq of Ikusik school!

Students from Aupaluk and Kangiqsujuaq become published authors

During the 2008/2009 school year two talented secondary English groups, one from Aupaluk and one from Kangiqsujuaq, were selected to participate in educational programs provided by Blue Metropolis, a non-profit organization “dedicated to bringing people from different cultures together to share the pleasures of reading and writing”. With the help of professional writers, photographers and sound engineers, the two groups worked tirelessly throughout the year to attain their goal of sharing their rich Inuit culture through media. Keep reading in order to discover the details of their projects and where you can find their published work.
