Two-Eyed Seeing

Two Eyed Seeing (2ES) refers to the interweaving of western and Indigenous

worldviews. This course is to help Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants

develop or enhance their ability to interchange their professional lenses to better

understand and support Indigenous peoples and programs.

2ES is about learning and adopting Indigenous knowledge and values in their

frameworks of professional philosophy, policy, and practice.

Key learning outcomes:

• Define Two-Eyed Seeing in the context of your professional domain: health, education, social services, justice, etc.

• Explore similarities and/or differences between western and Indigenous worldviews

• Conceptualize the value and importance of incorporating a 2ES approach to bring about social change and transformation, and to better meet organizational goals
