Misko Aki Knowledge Exchange (MAKE) 2025 (Funded) Deadline: 24 February, 2025
Applications are open for the Misko Aki Knowledge Exchange (MAKE) 2025. The Misko Aki Knowledge Exchange is a tuition-free, non-accredited, educational program. This innovative program explores the many ways academics, artists, and activists make liveable worlds informed by Indigenous and decolonial perspectives and research. The Misko Aki Knowledge Exchange is grounded in theoretical learning and practical application; it aims to be rigorous, intentional, and devoted to transformation and revitalization. The lessons of this interactive and collaborative program can be applied to learner’s professional and personal activities and pursuits.
This year’s theme is inspired by “Making Liveable Worlds: Afro-Puerto Rican Women Building Environmental Justice” by Hilda Llorens (2019), as well as the ongoing efforts of Indigenous communities and colleagues dedicated to creating liveable spaces. Students who successfully complete the Misko Aki Knowledge Exchange program will receive a Yellowhead School certificate in recognition of their achievement.
Program Highlights
- Explore how public policy intersects with Indigenous knowledge and decolonial theory
- Learn to craft public policies that address settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and climate injustice
- Develop skills to implement community-centered public policy initiatives
- Network with diverse professionals working at the intersection of public policy and social justice
Cost
- There are no fees for the Misko Aki Knowledge Exchange. Yellowhead Institute will cover the costs for students’ travel, accommodation, and meal expenses to participate in the required in-person intensive session.
Eligibility
- Open to Indigenous, Black, and racialized community helpers involved in local, place-based initiatives who are interested in expanding and deepening their knowledge on the theory and practice of making liveable worlds and what it means to refuse conditions of settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and climate injustice.
