Iliqqusiq-+Culture

** Iliqqusiq- //Culture// **
Involves studies of Inuit culture but also the culture of others. Replaces //Culture and Community// from the WNCP. The community aspect is of course part of //iliqqusiq// but community is also a major aspect of //Inuuqatigiingniq// and it complicates the title in Inuktitut.

From the WNCP Framework: **// Students will explore the influences of culture and community on individuals and societies. //**

Culture and community play an important role in the development of citizenship and identity. Many factors contribute to a sense of belonging to a culture or community, including shared values, beliefs, traditions, and language. Students will explore the concepts, symbols, and expressions of their own and others’ cultural, linguistic, and social communities. They will enhance their understanding of diverse perspectives through an exploration of the ways in which people live together in cultures, groups, communities, and societies. They will explore the connections between culture, community, citizenship, and identity, and will reflect upon their roles as members of groups and communities. Learning outcomes will include concepts such as human interaction, interdependence, and cultural diversity
