Silarjuaq-+The+World


 * Silarjuaq- // The World //**. We live in Nunavut but we are also part of a larger world in which everything is connected. This replaces // Global Connections // from the WNCP framework. The reason for the change is simply to ensure that the term is an established Inuktitut concept. The connections aspect complicates the term in Inuktitut because it is assumed that there are connections as in everything.

From the WNCP framework: **//Students will explore the global interdependence of people, communities, societies, nations, and environments.//**

People, communities, societies, nations, and environments are interdependent. An exploration of this interdependence will enhance students’ global consciousness and encourage them to develop empathy with respect to the human condition. Students will critically consider diverse perspectives and the connections that link local, national, and global issues. This exploration of global connections will enable students to enrich their identities and to engage in active and responsible citizenship. Learning outcomes will focus on human rights and responsibilities, diversity and commonality, quality of life and equity, globalization, international cooperation and conflict, and global environmental concerns.
