Presentations and Workshops “The Panel”
The internationally acclaimed Whitecrow Village presentation panels can be tailored to inform and address issues specific to a range of social, political and professional domains. Panelists are drawn from the Whitecrow Village community (encompassing both FASD affected and not affected staff, adults, youth, children, parents, and community professionals from various domains – including social service, medical, legal, education and other). Speakers share their personal and professional understanding of issues related to FASD and describe the experiences, understanding, and unique learning that they have gained through working together in context of the life-changing Whitecrow Village vision and philosophy. Audience members are invited to engage in discussion and interact with panelists and with each other.
Conferences & Community Events
The Whitecrow Village team leaders are sought after motivational speakers and presenters on a range of issues regarding FASD (see: team bio). Individual or teamed members of the Whitecrow Village community are available for keynote address and/ or conference presentations, community or service club events, and round table discussions. Our team leaders routinely speak on FASD specific topics such as:
Whitecrow Village presentations (led primarily by successful adults living with FASD) often astonish and always inspire the audience - both through their content and in the professional and powerful manner in which they are delivered.
Pro-D Workshop Series for Education Professionals
The Whitecrow Village Education Programs’ workshop series for educators typically spans 3-4 days (these may be consecutive or spaced over district Pro-D days). Successive workshops are designed to provide teachers and EAs with a solid foundation in the Whitecrow Village philosophy and core principles by which we believe effective teaching strategies can be designed and implemented. Activities in these sessions are both academic and experiential in nature, and teaching teams are encouraged to attend and work together in order to develop a common understanding of FASD and a success-engendering language. Topics for exploration in this series include:
The Whitecrow Village Education Team (see: team bios) is also available to speak to groups of educators on select topics and/ or to provide directed training, insight, or guidance in specified FASD related focus areas at staff or parent meetings and at district levels. For more information about Whitecrow Village programs for Schools and Educators, please visit our Education Programs’ home page.
Please note: FASD is a complex and nuanced condition. It is the experience of the Whitecrow Village team that a brief exposure to training on FASD can lead to the dangerous and false illusion of a thorough understanding of the full range of characteristics of FASD. For this reason, we do not routinely do short workshops about the academic points of FASD. We do, however, offer comprehensive workshops on specified, focused topics and in the context of the Whitecrow Village community model.
