精童欲女

The Wekim眉n School Project, a collaboration of 精童欲女 and the Williche Council of  Chiefs of Chilo茅, is entering its fifth year of improving the quality of life of Williche indigenous youth of the Los Lagos region of Chile. Wekim眉n is a school for and with indigenous youth and communities, which integrates traditional-indigenous and western-scientific knowledge into two programs of study with project-based curriculum and teaching. The project was designed to provide improved educational opportunities to some of Chile鈥檚 most marginalized and disenfranchised people.

The curriculum for Wekim眉n was carefully designed to suit the needs of the youth in the area. Indigenous youth were trained to conduct interviews with more than 100 members of their Williche communities to find out what they needed to learn. With this knowledge and that of official statistics and trends, three major teaching areas emerged: traditional language (Mapudungun) history and culture, sustainable community and environmental development, and traditional health and medicine.

The term 鈥淲ekim眉n鈥� means 鈥渢o bring together traditional and modern knowledge and practices.鈥� That is the aim as new courses are developed; each is based in traditional practice with input from modern knowledge. Curriculum design is supported by Canadian university faculty members, with input from elder educators who teach and provide traditional knowledge. The school operates both on site and in the community so that when the students go home they continue to learn and engage in projects to support their livelihoods. 

鈥淭his project is an intense collaboration across countries, cultures, languages and disciplines,鈥� said Dr. Kate Tilleczek, Canada Research Chair in Young Lives in Global and Local Contexts and co-lead of the Wekim眉n School Project. 鈥淚t gathers together young people, elders, teachers, NGOs, communities, universities and governments. It has been a remarkable privilege to work with this team and to learn from the Williche people of southern Chile. The school has been carefully crafted to attend to equity for indigenous youth and women in every aspect: curricular design, student selection, hiring practices, governance and inclusive learning materials. Helping to develop this unique, inclusive school has been a true honour. The tremendous talent and dedication of the Chilean team, the Williche people, the Canadian faculty, volunteers, and project management team is inspiring.鈥�  

The Wekim眉n School officially opened in May of 2015, offering two programs of study, Intercultural Health and Sustainable Development, and Intercultural Education and Sustainable Development. Classes in each program include language, human and indigenous rights, Williche worldview, sustainable community development (agriculture, natural resource management, etc.), and health (traditional and non-traditional practices, medicinal plants and treatments, etc.).

鈥淲ekim眉n Chilkatuwe (Wekim眉n School) is a space in which our identity as indigenous people is strengthened, where students are re-enchanted by life (their own and those of their communities and territories). They look again toward the territory where Williche life and culture has developed for thousands of years. The Wekim眉n School produces a new commitment amongst the youth that has too often gone unnoticed,鈥� said Mr. Manuel Munoz Millalonko, co-lead of the Wekim眉n Project in Chilo茅. 鈥淚t is exciting to learn from Wekim眉n. The construction of new kinds of knowledge comes true every day. And a significant intercultural development is happening here that helps all indigenous people, a dynamic model were the Williche worldview harmoniously interacts with other worldviews from a place of dignity and deep honouring of our Mapu 脩uke (Mother Earth). Our elders acknowledge and participate and we have an engaged relationship with the Canadian faculty who support our community and students in a virtuous circle of knowledge that impacts our work in very distant places on the planet.鈥�

鈥淚t is an incredible opportunity to work with and for these communities,鈥� said project manager Debbie MacDonald. 鈥淥ur project partners, the WCC, are a dedicated and passionate group of community leaders with whom we are working to make their vision of Wekimun School a reality. Their continued focus, despite the many challenges they face in their communities, is admirable and the results for their people are clear.鈥�

The hard work of the first four years of the project is reflected in the current scale-up of the curriculum for certification and in the school site itself. The existing buildings were extensively renovated to provide space for the local health centre (which runs traditional heath services from the school two days a week), office space for teachers and staff, a demonstration kitchen, a state-of-the-art language lab designed for the instruction of indigenous language), classroom space, and outdoor teaching areas including spaces for reflection among an old growth forest. More than 350 youth and community members have already taken part and the team has developed five collaborative agreements with other universities and/or government agencies who support and assist with the work.

Wekim眉n has received substantial financial support from Global Affairs Canada to develop curriculum, operate the school, provide infrastructure, and establish and strengthen professional relations with various Canadian researchers to create an interdisciplinary team in Chile and Canada. The Embassy of Canada to Chile, Governor of Chile, Minister of Sustainable Development and Minister of Education for Chile have all visited the school site and very much support this initiative.

Dr. Robert Gilmour, Vice-President Academic and Research at the 精童欲女, today announced a new . The chair will be co-held by Dr. James Randall, a geographer and coordinator of 精童欲女鈥檚 Master of Arts in Island Studies (MAIS) program, and Dr. Godfrey Baldacchino, a professor of sociology at the University of Malta and an Island Studies teaching fellow at the 精童欲女.

鈥淭he UNESCO Chair is a singular achievement for the university, particularly for the program in Island Studies,鈥� said Dr. Robert Gilmour. 鈥淭he chair formalizes and reinforces the combined efforts of our former Canada Research Chair, Dr. Baldacchino, and the current coordinator of 精童欲女's MAIS program, Dr. Randall, and, as such, significantly enhances the international impact of one of the university's signature initiatives.鈥�

The UNESCO Chair in Island Studies will work to establish and expand academic and research programmes on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Sub-National Island Jurisdictions (SNIJs). It will operate from the premise that SIDS and SNIJs are innovative, entrepreneurial, and connected, not vulnerable, lacking, and isolated. The chair is one of 700 UNESCO chairs around the world and is the first in Atlantic Canada.

鈥淭he relevance of islands to our world at the moment is unparalleled. From political turmoil in the South China Sea, to the impacts of climate change, to refugee movements through Europe, to the role of offshore financial centres, stories about islands and islanders seem to be in the news every day,鈥� said Dr. James Randall. 鈥淭his Chair brings together the people and the organizations doing island studies research and learning in order to help us solve some of the great challenges facing our world.鈥�

The principal long-term mission of the Chair of Island Studies and Sustainability is to contribute to the sustainable development of SIDS鈥攁 UNESCO priority since the articulation of the Millennium Development Goals in 2000鈥攁nd to extend this priority to SNIJs. The chair proposes to harness the insights and experience of island studies scholars, students, governments, and organizations worldwide, many of which the co-chair-holders, the Institute of Island Studies, and partners and supporters have already established.

鈥淚t is a great privilege to be the co-holder of the UNESCO Chair Program at 精童欲女 along with my colleague Dr. Jim Randall,鈥� said Dr. Godfrey Baldacchino. 鈥溇�童欲女 has made huge investments in island studies over almost four decades and has developed a world class and world renowned reputation and expertise as a result. Most island studies roads lead to, or pass through, Charlottetown; the UNESCO Chair is a natural transition which now allows us to take the game to the next level, whether in public engagement, cutting edge scholarship, or research funding.鈥�

鈥淚t is most edifying to see the strong relationship between the 精童欲女 and the University of Malta cemented with this prestigious UNESCO Chair appointment鈥攁 first for both our institutions,鈥� said Professor Alfred J. Vella, Rector of the University of Malta, in Malta. 鈥淚n this way, our respective expertise in the study of islands and small jurisdictions is better recognized. I look forward to an even stronger island studies program, driven by the competitive advantage that our two institutions enjoy in this field.鈥�

This chair is created through the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programme, which has promoted international inter-university cooperation and networking since 1992 to enhance institutional capacities through knowledge sharing and collaborative work. The programme supports the establishment of UNESCO Chairs and UNITWIN Networks in key priority areas related to UNESCO鈥檚 fields of competence鈥搃.e. in education, the natural and social sciences, culture, and communication.

精童欲女 Athletics and Recreation is proud to introduce the Panther Academy After-School Program, coming this fall in the Chi-Wan Young Sport Centre. The Panther Academy is dedicated to providing all of our participants with opportunities to learn in a safe and fun environment.

精童欲女 offers a large selection of age-appropriate games, activities, and sports to help develop the social, physical, intellectual, creative and emotional needs of children. We have a large, spacious gymnasium with play-centered equipment for younger children and more game-oriented play for older children. A quiet classroom space for learning and homework and a smaller activity area for one-on-one learning and activities are also available.

鈥淲e are very excited to expand our Panther Academy to include after school programming,鈥� said Chris Huggan, director of Athletics and Recreation at 精童欲女. 鈥淲e have excellent facilities, staff and programs in place, and we are eager to further engage children in the community in an active, educational manner.鈥�

The Panther Academy鈥檚 philosophy is entrenched in the belief that individual and group play through physical activity enhances a child鈥檚 ability to learn and improve intellectually as well as develop their ability to cooperate, learn individual responsibility, and foster caring partnerships. The psychological and physical well-being of each of our participating children is the utmost priority, and their safety and enjoyment in our programs is our number one concern. We encourage participation in all activities to better enhance the children鈥檚 overall experience.

The Panther Academy After-School Program is run by certified staff and qualified university students. Student staff are chosen for their maturity, ability to relate to children, and leadership skills. All staff receive High-Five training along with CPR/First Aid/AED training and a mandatory extensive learning week led by our Programming Coordinator.

Students at the new School of Sustainable Design Engineering recently competed in an international, intercollegiate racing competition held in Rochester, New York. Each year, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), holds three competitions in North America, which are open for universities around the world to participate. The final competition this year saw nearly 100 teams compete from countries such as the United States, Canada, Mexico, India, Brazil, and Venezuela. This was 精童欲女鈥檚 first time competing in such an event.

The competition challenges students to design and build a mini Baja-style dune buggy to simulate a real-world engineering design team. Students develop a business and marketing plan, aiming to mass-produce these vehicles as a start-up company. The vehicle design and Dragon's Den-style business proposal are then presented to judges in sales and design presentations. The Baja vehicle then raced against other teams in multiple dynamic events, such as a 100-foot hill climb, acceleration, manoeuvrability, and suspension, as well as a final 4-hour endurance race to complete the competition.

鈥淲e would like to thank all of our sponsors who made travelling to and competing at this competition possible,鈥� said Andrew Simmons on behalf of the 精童欲女 Baja Team. 鈥淲e were fortunate to receive overwhelming support from the entire community, including sponsors such as Princess Auto, City of Summerside, 精童欲女, and many other local businesses and individuals. We were pleased with our performance in our inaugural year, placing 84th overall, and we look forward to improving next year. As the University expands through the new School of Sustainable Design Engineering, competing at these international events provides us with opportunities to gain practical skills and valuable experience. We hope that through ongoing support from the community, we can grow Prince Edward Island's international reputation and promote its innovative and competitive engineering program.鈥�

Alison Reindel, a fourth-year student at 精童欲女鈥檚 Atlantic Veterinary College, has been selected to present a research poster at the American Public Health Association鈥檚 (APHA) annual conference in Denver, Colorado, on November 2, 2016.

Reindel鈥檚 poster will describe the research project she conducted at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. Last summer Reindel was accepted into the prestigious Dr. James A. Ferguson Emerging Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program, a nine-week summer program funded by the CDC. The program provides educational and professional development opportunities for Fellows interested in research into infectious diseases and health disparities.

During her time at the CDC, Reindel worked on a research project exploring the development of an in vitro model to study respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is a major cause of severe lower respiratory tract illness in infant, elderly and immunocompromised patients. Clinical manifestations of RSV range from symptoms associated with a mild common cold to severe respiratory distress and failure. By the age of two, the vast majority of children will have already had an RSV infection that often goes unnoticed; however in infants born premature, the immunocompromised, or the elderly, an RSV infection is much more severe, causing bronchiolitis or pneumonia which often requires hospitalization.

RSV poses significant health and financial burdens on a global scale. Currently, there are only two US Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments available for RSV, and both come with significant drawbacks. With the vast burden of disease, raising health care costs, and concerns regarding the effectiveness and risks associated with the current RSV antiviral therapies, additional research in the development of alternative treatment methods is a priority. Reindel鈥檚 research project aids in providing a mechanism to study RSV infection to further advance potential treatment options.

Reindel, who hails from Rochester, New York,  hopes to incorporate her interest in public health into her career as a veterinarian. Her experiences in teaching, veterinary medicine, and infectious disease studies will be used to advance the education, detection, prevention, and treatment of infectious and zoonotic diseases and thus positively advance both animal and human health.

鈥淭he intersection of animal, human, and environmental health is exciting. Through the 鈥淥ne Health鈥� concept, I plan to use what I learn in veterinary medicine to help people and their animals to be safe and healthy.鈥�

Following graduation in 2017, Reindel plans on completing a Master of Public Health degree, while gaining experience in mixed-animal clinical practice.
