Since 1999, Sharing Our Cultures has provided opportunities for intercultural experiential learning to school children and youth.
School youth from Indigenous communities, such as Conne River, Makkovik, Natuashish, Nunatsiavut, and Sheshatshiu have travelled to St. John’s to share their diverse cultures.
In 2018, the Sharing Our Cultures event was livestreamed to 45 schools throughout the province.
In 2017, Sharing Our Cultures brought school youth from Kugluktuk, Nunavut, to share their Copper Inuit culture at the three-day event in St. John’s. Newcomer school youth, representing seven countries, travelled to Kugluktuk to share their diverse cultures and experience the Copper Inuit culture. On route to Kugluktuk both groups stayed in Ottawa and witnessed a session in Parliament. This exchange was designed to foster intercultural learning and friendships between Indigenous and newcomer school youth.
