Reconciliation Learning
Arrive Consulting provides customized training and support to address the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action for employee learning. Our learning approach is holistic and embodied, safe and non-judgemental, participatory and skills-based, celebratory and creative. We aim to leave learners with actionable next steps to support reconciliation, as individuals or as an organization.
Reconcili-Action
We believe learning needs to be combined with action to create meaningful change. We support organizations to develop and implement reconcili-action plans and processes. We work with you to identify priorities for change regarding relationships with Indigenous communities and the cultural safety of programs, and we support you as you create and implement initiatives to address these priorities.
Reconciliation Coaching
If you’re already on the path to reconciliation and have done some of your own learning, but you need support or guidance on a specific project or initiative, we can help. Our team of Elders, Indigenous consultants, and experienced allies can work with you to review, provide input on, and enhance your reconciliation work. We can support you to build deeper connections with Indigenous communities and to challenge colonial processes within your organization to create a more decolonized experience for the benefit of everyone you serve.
Partnerships
Reconciliation work is typically delivered through formal partnerships with other Indigenous and non-Indigenous consultants working to advance Indigenous rights and reconciliation, including the Called to Action Collaborative and Dream Doula Consulting. Check out our partnership page to learn more.
“The Called to Action team helped guide the Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria in our Indigenous Journey Project, which involved creating a five-year reconciliation action plan and providing training to all our staff. The process was very inclusive, and the team really set the tone for learning together collaboratively. As a result, our staff are better prepared to educate newcomers about colonization and contribute within our organization to advance reconciliation and relationships with indigenous peoples. We are grateful for the support, encouragement, and expertise of The Called to Action Team.”
Jean McRae, CEO, Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria
