Clan Mothers Design+Build Workshop
Location: Winnipeg, MB, Treaty #1 Territory
Duration: 12 Days
Completion: November 2022
Participants: 15
Age Range: 18-50
Outcomes: MITT Adult Micro-Credential Accredited, Career Awareness & Integration of Design Training with Heavy Equipment Operating and Carpentry/Framing Training offered by MCSC
Our team collaborated with MCSC and Clan Mothers to introduce students to the Design+Build process guided by our curriculum. What made this particularly unique, was the emphasis on the healing aspect of creative thinking and making. Together, students supported one another and created a space that encouraged everyone to explore and pursue what they were passionate about. Students would develop design concepts for a small-scale structure using methods and tools such as collage making, site analysis, sketching, modeling, drafting, and VR/AR technologies...all while using storytelling as the main guiding principle. These big-picture practices equip students with skills and knowledges that can be applied towards their carpentry training program.
