OSMOSIS: an awakening
Valuing the best of the past, so as to envision the best for our future

Osmosis: an awakening is more than an event. It is an opportunity for our young people to be engaged and awakened in something deeply meaningful, positive and fruitful. It creates a space for our young people to not only listen to one another but it allows our young people to speak their voice. If our young people are our emerging leaders for our communities, our churches, our schools, our organizations and our Nation, we need to stir their gifts, hear their voice, know their dreams and embrace their contributions. We believe it is time to invest and focus on our young people. iEmergence Canada through these Osmosis events allows bridges to be built with Indigenous and non Indigenous youth and allows for an unique opportunity to be fostered our young people in a good way.

This is such a great, exciting and timely initiative to be part of!

Panuluanan: An Ata Approach to Education

Stacks Image 58
“Panuluanan” is an Ata word for a place of teaching. Community elders are seeing the loss of culture in their young people and have expressed the desire to be able to intentionally pass on their culture to the next generation. Panuluanan acknowledges that in the past, cultural learning happened naturally in everyday community life but because of the changing contexts of indigenous communities there is a need to find ways to intentionally pass on culture. This indigenous school becomes a venue for cultural restoration, preservation, and learning for generations of Ata children.

Osmosis Immersion: Promoting cross cultural learning and appreciation

Stacks Image 53
iEmergence recognizes that the task of developing a community is not exclusive to one organization alone; everyone has skills and knowledge valuable for transforming communities. The iEmergence Osmosis internship becomes a venue for students to apply their classroom learning and church workers to experience healthy community engagement while contributing to the organization’s long-term community development plan. More importantly, the internship empowers indigenous communities as they become the teachers, telling their own stories as culture-bearer experts.
