Connected North is a leading-edge program that delivers interactive education
services to schools in remote communities through two-way, video technology.
This school year, Connected North is operating in over 200 schools and serving
over 37,000 students.
The goal of Connected North is to provide participating schools with access to
virtual content that is engaging and innovative, with the hope of increasing
feelings of empowerment in school and life. This includes virtual guest
speakers, field trips, and collaborations between schools across Canada.
At the heart of the program is our commitment to an approach that holds
Indigenous perspectives at the centre of both content and process. This includes
developing culturally relevant content where students' cultures are respected
and valued. The students and educators guide how the program will work best
for their community, and First Nations, Inuit, and Métis role models and
content providers are involved wherever possible, as critical sources of
knowledge and inspiration.
TakingITGlobal is the charitable partner that manages Connected North and
leads an ecosystem of partners and supporters who work together to make this
educational resource available.
