"It seems like parents are abandoning their responsibilities and expect the school to take over."

Lucien Ottawa, Nehirowisiw

Everything is connected. School, home, the territory. Parents, teachers, the community. Family, values, culture and identity. The territory’s a school, school’s a family, the house is a classroom. Transmission is a wealth, education is a shared responsibility. Whatever your history or your situation, no one can give up. Because everything is connected: parents, teachers, the community, the nation, and at the centre of the circle, the children, bearers of the future.
