Comox Valley Schools And Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School Celebrating Humanities Week

Comox Valley Schools and Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School are celebrating Humanities Week.

Students are getting the opportunity to participate in a wide range of events with the theme of “Raise Your Voice” that will promote learning, collaboration, and creativity.

The event starts today with The Living Library, a series of talks with smaller groups of students by professionals in Humanities-related careers. The afternoon will feature sessions with several people involved in "raising their voice" in advocacy for different issues.

Students will also take on the role of delegates at the Comox Valley Schools Model United Nations conference to discuss Child Trafficking, hear from Waneek Horn -Miller - an Indigenous advocate and Mohawk Olympian who will share insights about the healing power of sport – and sport as a vehicle for reconciliation.

It’s not all work for the students. Throughout the week, there will be various games, breakout activities for the grade 8s and 9s, a museum artifact trivia contest, and a humanities careers scavenger hunt.
