Summer Institute

PBDE Summer Institute

Theme: People and Place

Welcome to the webpage for the 2026 Summer Institute. This year's theme is ‘People and Place’ and will feature a keynote lecture from University of Winnipeg professor Dr. Alex Wilson along with five fantastic courses that in different ways align with this theme.  

This summer, instructors will link their courses to connect with how K-12 educators can navigate the tensions of reckoning with strengthening literacy and numeracy with students developing competencies which recognize the historic and ongoing harms made by humans against each other and the natural world. 

Please note, some courses will have classes off-campus. Contact your instructor for more details on this.

Registration will go live in March 2026. Whether attending the University of Winnipeg Faculty of Education Summer institute for the first time or welcoming you back, we look forward to seeing you in July 2026!

Visit the Summer Institute webpage for more information on the keynote speaker and course offerings.
