Summary
In today’s session, we looked back at the first half of the year and reflected on our first 12 episodes, highlighting key takeaways and favourite moments. We also discussed ideas, hopes, and ambitious aspirations for future episodes. Our key insights reveal that our discussions have opened numerous avenues for exploration, and hearing teachers’ perspectives on various topics has been particularly enlightening. We noticed that certain subjects, such as AI and sustainability, are especially rich in content and warrant further exploration in upcoming cafés. These discussions will help deepen our understanding of these complex topics. By reviewing our progress and planning ahead, we hope to enhance the quality and impact of our future episodes.

Summary
In today’s Voc Talk Café we discussed how education plays an important role in the journey towards addressing the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization on Indigenous peoples. We situated ourselves as listeners first to foster understanding and respect through education from authentic voices about Indigenous history, rights, and the legacy of residential schools. In vocational training, we can support reconciliation by incorporating reflection and inquiry through our trade culture and addressing Indigenous economic prosperity through entrepreneurship and public policy. Teaching resources available on the PROCEDE website promote cultural safety in healthcare and business programs also help build bridges. By embracing these approaches, vocational training can play a role in fostering reconciliation and mutual respect.
