The Yukon Literacy Coalition, in partnership with Ilitaqsiniq and the NWT Literacy Council, is proposing to create resources and an active, supportive information-sharing network across the northern regions. The 3 literacy councils have intentionally created learner-centered, non-formal approaches to learning programs by working with Elders and other content specialists. Through this approach, they have come to understand that there are many northern non-formal educators from all walks of life who are successfully teaching and sharing knowledge in their communities. Combining culture, language, traditional and non-traditional best practices will change the face of northern learning practices.
