Kairos Blanket Exercise
Facilitator – Michelle Nieviadomy
The Blanket Exercise is an enormously popular and successful teaching tool that uses participatory popular education methodology to raise awareness and understanding of the history of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada.
Since its creation in 1996 as a creative, innovative and interactive way to educate Indigenous and non-Indigenous people about the major themes and recommendations of the Royal Commission on Indigenous Peoples, the Blanket Exercise has been conducted hundreds of times with thousands of people of all ages and from all backgrounds.
