This virtual workshop series consists of seven 3-hour sessions delivered over the course of a two-month period on Wednesdays between March 6th and April 17th, 2024, from 1:00-4:00 PM ET. Each cohort will consist of up to 50 ENGO staff/leaders drawn from across Canada.
Introduce ENGO representatives to the fact that colonization is a structure and not an event. Identify key ways that colonialism moves through individuals and organizations.
ENGO representatives learn how to articulate their social location within a settler colonial state, and vis-à-vis potential Indigenous partners.
Introduce the fact that Indigenous nations have their own sources of political authority that they can (and do) draw on when addressing environmental issues. Examples provided.
ENGO representatives will roadtest ways in which to implement previous workshop key points to re-imagine partnerships with Indigenous nations.
Introduce ENGO representatives to Indigenous concepts of territorial sovereignty and how this might relate to environmental protection, sustainability, etc.
ENGO participants are introduced to theories and examples describing the Nonprofit Industrial Complex and the “Shadow State.” The purpose is to show how settler colonialism structures civil society.
This workshop delves deep into how ENGOs can partner with Indigenous nations beyond the Nonprofit Industrial Complex while promoting deference to inherent Indigenous political leaders.
