How It Works

“Connections in Learning” is a community-based program where the adult educator works with the coordinators of other programs being offered in the community. The programs in Wekweti include:

• Wekweti Prenatal Nutrition Program
• After-school Fun Time Reading Program
• Kids on Computers
• Elder Literacy
• Dogrib Literacy
• Women’s Craft Night
• Family Activity Nights.

The adult educator also works with coordinators of community events such as Take Back the Night, the Winter Carnival, community meetings and workshops.
