Education Programs & Team Building
Turtle Protectors also offers programming for workplaces that focus upon two-eyed seeing and the responsibility we all have to reconcile the human impacts upon Turtles and all kin. All sessions are interactive, educational, and engaging.
Two hour field trips in any of the ten parks we operate in from April to October: Each session will include a welcoming and closing circle and a walk with engaging activities.
One hour On-line Webinars or In-person Presentations: Carolynne and Jenny engage participants through storytelling and a slideshow presentation.
In addition to learning about two of Ontario's Species at Risk (Midland Painted Turtle and Snapping Turtle), students will leave with a shift in perspective.
All experiences will focus upon reconciliation through the concept of Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing), spoken of by Mi’kmaw Elder Albert Marshall. In Marshall's words "Two-Eyed Seeingre fers to learning to see from one eye with the strengths of Indigenous ways of knowing and from the other eye with the strengths of Western ways of knowing and to using both of these eyes together.”
