Today’s special episode of the pod is an introduction, and invitation, to the inaugural “Behind The Mask of the Survivor." The Outside is both honoured and excited to be organizing the first “Boarding School Survivors Workshop” in North America. This is not to be confused with Indigenous Residential and Boarding Schools, especially as we are hosting in Lnu territory. The focus of this workshop is largely on the elite boarding schools that children, largely from middle to upper class families, are sent away to from as young as 7 years old. This Workshop kicks off in June 2024. Join us.
