Kindness Rocks / Reconciliation Project


In 2017, the Walk for Reconciliation put out a call for teachers to explore the concept of togetherness with our students, to "help children, in an artistic and engaging way, explore our shared history and begin to imagine a future of togetherness between Indigenous People and all Canadians." At the same time, many schools were participating on "kindness rocks," in which students paint rocks with positive messages and leave them somewhere in their neighborhood.

I put out a call to the school to check if anyone was interested in painting a rock with their classroom, and that I would facilitate it by running the workshop in their classrooms. I used my free time to visit with six classes from k to 5 and produce a couple hundred rocks; many students wanted to keep their rocks and leave around the neighborhood, but some gave their rocks to me to bring to the Walk for Reconciliation. I also painted with teachers a couple of times.

We had enough rocks to create a wave on their beautiful display!
