UArctic is pleased to invite you to register for the 2025 UArctic Webinar Series —a dynamic and timely exploration of the key issues shaping the future of the Arctic and Northern regions. Bringing together diverse voices from across the Circumpolar North and beyond, this series creates space for critical conversations, shared learning, and collaborative action on the challenges and opportunities facing Northern communities.
We’re excited to announce the panelists for the second session of the series: Decolonizing Education and Policy in the North. This session will highlight perspectives from Indigenous leaders, educators, and community members who are advancing decolonial approaches across sectors and institutions. Together, they’ll discuss the pathways to more equitable, culturally grounded, and community-led systems of education and governance in the North.
