ICUF Training for Foster and Kinship Caregivers

ALIGN is excited to offer its Indigenous Cultural Understanding Framework (ICUF) training for Foster and Kinship Caregivers.

This in-person session will provide a foundation for walking together with Indigenous peoples, including the children you serve. We will explore the Indigenous Cultural Understanding Framework's parallel sharing and learning journey.

We will create a principle-based place for individuals to continue conversations that will become a foundation for moving forward in parallel.

After this session, you will have a deeper understanding of the principles to take forward with you and implement the framework's principles in your work.

The Principles of the Indigenous Cultural Understanding Framework are

- Ceremony
- Creation
- Natural Law/Relationships
- Knowledge
- Transfer
- Language
- Wellbeing and Kindness
- Land and Environment
- Traditional Parenting/Kinship
- Role of the Child
- Programs and Structures
- Allyship
- Drum and Song

There is no cost to attend this session. We hope to see you on Saturday, January 18, 2025, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at McMan Youth Family & Community Services Association (1538 25 Ave NE, Calgary, AB T2E 8Y3).
