Alberta Talks Skills Series: Compassionate Curiosity and Deep Listening

 Registration is closed for this event
An evening virtual workshop on some of the core skills that help us in our organizational work broadly AND precede full deep canvassing training.

 

Gaining confidence in our conversational skills can make us better listeners in our everyday lives. Join us to explore compassionate curiosity and deep listening in this 90 minute skill building session. Hear about campaigns in which Alberta Talks has used the cutting edge practice of Deep Canvassing to connect with any Calgarian. Immerse yourself in our deep listening practice to better understand how we get to the core of our fellow Albertans concerns and promote lasting change. 

When
May 15th, 2024 from  6:00 PM to  7:30 PM

Truth & Reconciliation at AEN

Learn more about our process and progress, and share your thoughts with us, on our Decolonization and Indigenization page.

It is our understanding at the Alberta Environmental Network that Reconciliation starts with the land, and there is no Reconciliation until we have faced the Truth. While Truth is held collectively, we recognize everyone is on their own learning journey, at their own pace. Our work at AEN focuses on the lands outlined by the Province of Alberta, lands with which we are learning to be in kinship relationship, in the nêhiyaw (Cree) spirit of treaty-making. The lands we work for are described in Treaties 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10. The traditional keepers of this land are Anishinabe, Nêhiyawak (Cree), Dené, Dane-zaa, Nakota, Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda), Tsuut’ina, and Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy); this land is also the homeland of the Métis. We are committed to building meaningful reciprocal relationships, to be of service particularly to those directly experiencing the effects of oppression, genocide, and exploitation.
