Virtual Reality Indigenous Programs Expand in County Schools

Georgian College Partners with School Boards to Expand Indigenous Language & Culture Programming

Georgian College, in partnership with the Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) and the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies, is set to provide Indigenous language and culture programming to students in Ontario and Saskatchewan. The collaboration will allow elementary, secondary, and post-secondary students access to Georgian College’s virtual reality (VR) worlds, which explore Indigenous language in various settings. These partnerships aim to offer an innovative teaching tool and address the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, while also revitalizing and preserving Indigenous languages.
