Personal Visual Representation

Using the visuals from Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Model and the three Holistic Learning Models from First Nations Pedagogy as guides and inspiration, create your visual representation/mapping of the multiple influences and intersectionalities which interconnect you to others, human and other than human. This visualization exercise will help you recognize the multitude of relations you are already and always connected to.

You might use a mix of illustrations/drawings and written notes to represent your connections or you might choose to paint, sculpt or another visual medium to express your connections and discoveries.
