Unique in Quebec, Nunavik Sivunitsavut offers one-year courses on Inuit and circumpolar history, politics, governance, culture, and language. Students explore global modern issues from an Inuit perspective. In doing so, they gain invaluable insight into Nunavik, its people and their culture. This post-secondary urban program is specially designed for Nunavik students and began in the fall of 2017.  It is based on the model of the Nunavut Sivunitsavut model in Ottawa, ON.  To learn more, visit: https://sivunitsavut.ca/about-us/.

Nunavik Sivunitsavut signifie Nunavik: notre avenir en langue inuktitut. Unique en son genre, ce programme postsecondaire en milieu urbain spécialement conçu pour les étudiants du Nunavik a été inauguré à l’automne 2017 d’après le modèle du modèle du Nunavut Sivunitsavut d’Ottawa et à l’initiative concertée de Kativik Ilisarniliriniq (anciennement nommé Commission scolaire Kativik ) et du Collège John Abbott. En plus de ces deux partenaires, la Corporation Makivik, le Gouvernement régional Kativik et de l’Insitut culturel Avataq composent aujourd’hui le comité consultatif de Nunavik Sivunitsavut. La collaboration du Collège John Abott et de la commission scolaire inuite remonte à plus d’une vingtaine d’années. Initié en 2015, l’élaboration du programme Nunavik Sivunitsavut fait suite à des discussions amorcées il y a plus de 10 ans par l’organisme Saputiit et répond à une demande clairement exprimée par les communautés du Nunavik lors des consultations Parnasimautik en 2014. Les cours de niveau postsecondaire offerts par Nunavik Sivunitsavut permettent aux étudiants inuit du Québec d’étudier l’histoire, la langue et les cultures circumpolaires dans le but de contextualiser les enjeux territoriaux, politiques, culturels et socioéconomiques du Nunavik et de ses populations. Il vise ainsi à favoriser le développement du Inuguiniq ou l’autonomie et la confiance ainsi que le leadership de chacun de ses étudiants à travers l’engagement communautaire, la fierté identitaire, le développement académique et l’imminik illinianiq (ou la connaissance de soi). Le programme combine un passage tremplin vers les études collégiales à travers une offre de cours adaptés et accrédités dans le but de favoriser la diplomation postsecondaire. La première cohorte comprend dix-huit étudiants inuit, de 17 à 38 ans. Nunavik Sivunitsavut bénéficie du soutien financier du Gouvernement du Canada par le biais du ministère des Affaires autochtones et du Nord Canada ainsi que du soutien financier du ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur du Québec.

Kiskinohomatasowin – École en forêt est un nouveau programme éducatif s’adressant aux jeunes (13-18 ans)de Manawan fréquentant le secondaire (les jeunes à risque de décrochage scolaire sont privilégiés). Ce programme permet aux jeunes d’amalgamer l’apprentissage scolaire à des activités traditionnelles autochtones. Afin d’encourager l’incorporation de l’apprentissage atikamekw, les étudiants peuvent vivre plusieurs jours en forêt où plusieurs activités culturelles et traditionnelles leur sont proposées. Ils ont ainsi la chance de participer à des ateliers sur la chasse, la pêche, la préparation de produits d’érable et de montage de tentes. Les jeunes filles et garçons du secondaire peuvent, au cours de quelques jours, partir en compagnie d’adultes sur le territoire (le Nitaskinan) afin de renouer avec le mode de vie des ancêtres et se déconnecter de la technologie. Cet éloignement semble bénéfique car il permet aux jeunes de s’ouvrir et de discuter des différents aspects de leur vie.
