Project Update
The KAIROS Blanket Exercise, facilitated by Metis elder Vicky Soldo, was an extremely effective pedagogical activity for two sections of Social Science students.聽 The student participants were able to draw links between the class material they have been thinking about all term long and the physical role playing of these histories through the KAIROS Blanket Exercise. It was an incredibly moving experience that clearly had a profound effect on the students. In our reflective talking circle that followed the exercise, it was clear that the students were drawing links between the course material and their lives - this interweaving of knowledge and real-world experience allowed our students to see how they relate to the societies and histories that they are immersed in.
