Cultural practices and tradition serve many purposes. Often these traditions not only help define a community, but they also create a community. They also have healing properties in that they help us make connections within ourselves, to feel a sense of belonging and to strengthen one\u2019s sense of identity and purpose.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/div>\n

Honouring Inuit Knowledge, Supporting Cultural Vitality<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n <\/p>\n

The\u00a0Ilurqusitigut Program<\/b>\u00a0is a cultural education initiative led by Kativik\u00a0Ilisarniliriniq to support communities in Nunavik in preserving, revitalizing, and promoting Inuit traditional knowledge, skills, and values. The program is grounded in the belief that culture is the foundation of learning, identity, and healing. Through hands-on activities, intergenerational teaching, and local collaboration, Ilurqusitigut helps strengthen pride and connection to Inuit heritage, empowering both youth and adults across the region.<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants who complete certain Ilurqusitigut workshops may be eligible to receive\u00a0credits for optional courses toward their Secondary School Diploma<\/b>. This credit recognition provides an opportunity for learners to deepen their cultural knowledge while advancing in their formal education.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”10\/12″][vc_separator color=”white” style=”dashed” border_width=”5″ el_width=”80″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”10\/12″]
