Book Launch of From the Sky: Stories of Women Who Inspire Us
June 14, 2016
World Literacy Canada is proud to announce the publication of From the Sky: Stories of Women Who Inspire Us, a collection of stories written by Grade 7 and 8 students from Kawenni:io/Gaweni:yo Elementary School on the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. This multi-lingual educational resource and the resounding success of World Literacy Canada’s new First Nations Youth Storytelling Program will be celebrated at an official book launch.
Since September 2015, World Literacy Canada has been working in partnership and close collaboration with Kawenni:io/Gaweni:yo Elementary School to deliver storytelling workshops and one-on-one literacy training that engages students in creative writing, encourages them to share the stories of inspirational women in their community, and supports the development of reading, writing, and language skills. The students’ stories and accompanying illustrations are assembled alongside educational resources in Cayuga, Mohawk, and English in a one-of-a-kind collection to be used in schools and First Nations communities across Ontario.
Time: 6:00 p.m.
Venue: Ben McNally Books
Location: 366 Bay St Toronto, ON
