From the early 1830s to 1998, thousands of First Nation, Inuit and Métis children were forced to attend residential schools in an attempt to assimilate them into the dominant culture. Those children suffered abuses of the mind, body, emotions, and spirit that can be almost unimaginable. Over 150,000 children, some as young as four years old, attended the government-funded and church-run residential schools. It is estimated that there are 80,000 residential school Survivors alive today. We develop innovative, unique, and effective educational programming on residential schools and the long-term effects they have on Survivors, their families, and their communities. Accessed by hundreds of thousands of Canadians, these resources include websites, travelling exhibitions, secondary school curriculum, and an oral history collection of Survivor testimony.

Classroom Connections, a registered charity, has been developing innovative educational programs in Canada for over 15 years. As an organization dedicated to learning and youth, Classroom Connections feels a strong responsibility not only to advocate for educational change, but to lead in taking action. Over 5 years ago we started an initiative to synthesize brain and learning research with the goal of pilot testing new approaches to education. Out of this, the Change it Up! program was born. Change it Up! unites high impact programming, strength-based approaches and hands-on community development in a unique and holistic combination. Initial pilot projects have been in partnership with Aboriginal communities, where the need for alternative approaches is critical. Visit http://www.changeitup.ca to see our programs in action.
