Learning Resources

VIDEA has produced a range of globally-focused learning resources over the last 38 years, covering a variety of topics from global warming, to access to education, to the future of our forests to gender equality.

Previously, we have also been proud to partner with Will Weigler and the Inter-Cultural Association on “From the Heart” – an unconventional theater piece about reconciliation in the summer of 2013. “From the Heart” was co-created by an inter-generational culturally diverse group of 30 people who were then joined by another 70 to perform it once the script was ready. All 120 performances were sold out and the show went on to win Best New Play of the season from the Victoria Critic’s Choice Spotlight Awards. For more information on the project, you can purchase the book “From the Heart: How 100 Canadians Created an Unconventional Theater Performance about Reconciliation” here.

The following resources are available for download and may be used and replicated for use for educational purposes. Please note – it takes a few minutes for each pdf to load – please be patient!

Decolonization

The Decolonization Toolkit was designed to spark conversation and growth personally, professionally, organizationally, or community-wide and can be used fully or in pieces depending on what works best for you!

The Organizational Decolonisation Action Plan is the second step of the Decolonization Toolkit. This Action Plan outlines actions that organizations can take to build and implement their own decolonization plan.

Shared Wisdom Activity Cards

As part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence, we decided that we needed to add our voices to the conversation. It’s time for Indigenous youth to stand up and say NO to gender-based violence and that is exactly what we did.

Here are the graphics that we designed for the campaign. They cover a range of topics including, decolonizing gender, strong communities, healthy relationships, and more!

We wanted them to be small enough that they could be used in interactive activities in youth groups and with like-minded folks and we hope that they are useful to you in your discussions on gender and gender-based violence.
