“The most important thing is in front of kids,” said Katie Marren, Vice-Principal of Indigenous Education for SD57.

This marked the first time the videos has been shown to a large group of students aside from a trial run in Valemount.

Administrators linked to the project agree this is what happens when adults step aside and let students create their own work, a true form of student agency.

Many of the students part of DSAC will be graduating from SD57 although the legacy left behind will be carried on by the remaining members of the group. New members will also be joining DSAC in the fall to decide on the next major project for the group of senior SD57 students.

Anyone who still wishes to view the webinar can do so, although the live interactive element is now closed. It can still be a conversation starter for your classroom, social group, family or self. Perhaps it might inspire your curiosity and confidence to stand up against racism when you see it happening in your own life.

The show is still available for viewing here.
