Community: Inuit people of the Canadian Arctic (Puvirnituq, Nunavik, Qu茅bec), Montreal, Canada
Initiative Synopsis:听Qaulirmat: Inuit Youth Collaborating for a Bright Future
Qaulirmat is an Inuktitut word that translates to 鈥渂ecause it鈥檚 dawn鈥�. F茅lix鈥檚 Pathy Fellowship project,听Qaulirmat: Inuit Youth Collaboraring for a Bright Future听is a community-driven initiative intended for Inuit youth aged 13 to 35. F茅lix鈥檚 Fellowship work centred around building the foundation for Qaulirmat鈥檚 northern programming, including networking with government officials, solidifying new partnerships, sourcing sustainable funding, building a team, and developing curriculum. During his Fellowship year, and as part of his vision of sustainability, F茅lix also incorporated a not-for-profit organization called All Arctic; his Fellowship initiative is now housed within this organization. The programming element of F茅lix鈥檚 Pathy initiative was implemented immediately following his graduation from the Fellowship. Qaulirmat hosted summer programming for a group of youth participants from Puvirnituq, Nunavik. The project鈥檚 aim was to support youth in reaching their full potential by exploring education, business, employment and community development opportunities. In a series of workshops, group discussions, speaker events, and land-based pedagogies, the participants were provided with the time and space to contribute towards a bright future.

Attou Mamat听(缅北强奸, Faculty of Law, BCL/JD)
Community: Montreal Steppers, Montreal, Canada
Initiative Synopsis:听Addressing Violence through Dialogue & Artistic Expression
Attou鈥檚 Pathy initiative (Truth to Empower) was a 13-week arts-based workshop program to support students and educators in a Tioh鈥檛i谩:ke (Montreal) high school in preventing and responding to conflict and violence in their lives. Throughout the program, with the help of guest facilitators, participants explored various art forms such as spoken word, visual arts, dance, music, and theatre. This artistic exploration was combined with discussion-based activities to foster reflection and dialogue on topics related to the broader theme of violence 鈥� from racism to poverty, from war to homophobia, from climate change to misogyny. The initiative aimed to promote student engagement, social and emotional learning, self-confidence, and agency by creating opportunities for students to share their own knowledge and perspectives. Through collaborative work, the initiative encouraged both students and educators to prioritize care and relationship-building in the classroom and beyond.

The ultimate purpose of Root-to-Branch was to empower communities towards constructive hope. Place-based and experiential ways of learning were foundation to Root-to-Branch鈥檚 work.鈥�
