Digital Human Library (dHL) and the International Indigenous Speakers Bureau (IISB) have come together to help elevate Indigenous voices, perspectives, and world views in educational institutions across Canada, by providing the unique opportunity to access IISB’s growing library of Indigenous educational videos called Knowledge Nuggets*.

Digital Human Library (dHL) is looking for experienced individuals to write grants to fund the ongoing development and integration of Indigenous educational services in educational institutions throughout Canada.

*Knowledge Nuggets are short guided educational videos intended to assist the K-12 education system with understanding Indigenous knowledge, perspectives, and history in ways that follow a more Indigenous way of teaching and learning. Knowledge Nuggets allow teachers to share Indigenous knowledge confidently by providing students with a rich Indigenous perspective provided by Indigenous experts. 

This project will include the following tasks:

• Review grant research (completed previously) and selecting viable funding opportunities
• Schedule and attend meetings with grantors to review/ discuss grant requirements (as needed)
• Draft grant applications based on grant criteria
• Submit grant applications
• Collaborate with the IISB Team and dHL Team

Students will receive personalized training to begin the project. Weekly meetings will be held online to answer questions, provide support, and engage in feedback conversations. Additional support and communication will take place via email.
