What Truth and Reconciliation in Canada can teach us about having a difficult conversation with Cathie Foote
Presenter: Cathie Foote
Focus: EC-12th grade
Our Truth and Reconciliation Commission gave many “Calls to Action” to every person and organization in Canada. Over the past few years, I have been working to find my own place-based and family history-based way into taking up some of the action to which I’ve been called
as a Canadian. In these beginning steps of mine toward more truth-telling and reconciling understanding and activity, I have also come to see how Truth and Reconciliation naturally calls for conversations that are difficult. In my long-time professional life as a social worker,
therapist and Waldorf school administrator, I gained a lot of experience in having difficult conversations. In this seminar, I want to explore how the learnings from truth-telling and reconciling can inform the way we approach and engage in a difficult conversation – specifically in the context of a school, where we as adults have to have many conversations that are difficult for us.
