On Monday June 3rd, our secondary students will listen to a presentation by speaker and author Ivan Coyote as part of a tour where Ivan will visit all 3 secondary schools in SD53. Here is some more information:
Ivan has been visiting schools for 15 years now, telling stories to encourage talking and action to foster safety and social justice in our hallways, gymnasiums and classrooms for everyone: students, teachers and all staff.
Ivan Coyote was born and raised in a large Irish Catholic family in Whitehorse, Yukon, and learned the craft of storytelling while gathered around their grandmother’s kitchen table on long northern winter nights. Ivan is the award-winning author of nine collections of short stories (including one especially for young adult readers), one novel, a collection of essays, three screenplays and three CD’s, and a renowned live performer.
Coyote’s work tackles the difficult subjects of family, class, gender identity, and social justice, always with the silver tongue of a master storyteller, an eye for the beauty found in what makes us all human, and an ear for the hilarity of life and love. Ivan’s first love is telling stories to a live audience, and over the last nineteen years Ivan has become an audience favourite at writer’s, storytelling, poetry, spoken word, and music festivals from Anchorage to Amsterdam.
