Call for Projects: Elders Day 2024
Elders have always been the roots of a community. They are wise and have a lifetime of experiences. They are considered role models and leaders for the community. Which is why we are excited to announce the upcoming Elders Day Campaign taking place in October, dedicated to celebrating and honoring elders in our community.
This campaign is inspired by the principles of the IQI model—Ilusirsusiarniq, Qanuinngisiarniq, and Inuuqatigiitsianiq— which focus on promoting the physical, emotional, and social well-being of all Nunavimmiut.
Objectives of the Campaign:
- Celebrate Elders Day with engaging community-wide activities.
- Foster intergenerational connections and learning opportunities.
- Provide elders by platforms for their voices and contributions to be recognized and valued.
- Highlight and support elder-focused initiatives and services.
How to Participate:
Join us in celebrating Elders Day by organising engaging community-wide activities that align with the campaign objectives.
Some activity examples:
- Storytelling sessions
- Traditional arts and crafts workshops
- Cultural music performances
