Holistic lifelong learning models

These holistic lifelong learning models are the result of ongoing discussions among First Nations, Métis and Inuit learning professionals, community practitioners, researchers and analysts. (View the complete list of individuals and organizations who have contributed to the development of these learning models.)

The holistic lifelong learning models represent the link between lifelong learning and community well-being, and can be used as a framework for measuring success in lifelong learning for First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples.

    The Métis understand learning in the context of the “Sacred Act of Living a Good Life,” a perspective that incorporates learning experienced in the physical world and acquired by “doing,” and a distinct form of knowledge―sacred laws governing relationships within the community and the world at large―that comes from the Creator.
