Principles of Inuit Leadership in Teaching and Learning

Pirurvik is a Nunavut-based non-profit institute advancing Inuit leadership in teaching and learning. Through accredited post-secondary programs, we train new Inuktut instructors, provide opportunities to learn Inuktut, and build courses rooted in the knowledge, skills, and wellbeing of Inuit life.

What sets Pirurvik apart is our emphasis on:

  • Creating learning environments that are Inuit-centred and immersive in Inuktut;

  • A holistic approach to instructing that integrates Inuit language, culture and wellbeing;

  • Our engagement with the natural classroom of the Arctic environment.
