Shannen's Dream Day of Action
April 27 2011
Shannen's Dream Day of Action is when students and educators across Canada join together to support Shannen's Dream of safe and comfy schools and culturally based education on reserves (www.shannensdream.ca). Every action, no matter how big or small, makes a difference.
Here are some ideas on how you can participate:
- Host a talk on Shannen's Dream and encourage everyone to sign up to support Shannen's Dream
- Write an article for your student newspaper or local newspaper on Shannen's Dream and why First Nations children deserve proper schools and education.
- Write letters to all the candidates running in the Federal Election in your area and ask them if they support Shannen's Dream and what their party is going to do to make sure that First Nations children get a proper education.
- Organize an awareness walk with your teachers and invite the local news to cover it.
- 50 First Nations communities need new schools so think about drawing 50 schools or building miniature schools to show the Government of Canada how it is done. Take pictures and send them to the Prime Minister at pm@pm.gc.ca
- Buy Shannen's Dream pins and spread the word!
