Mission & Objectives

ARCTIConnexion is a registered non-profit organization staffed by Indigenous and non-Indigenous with backgrounds and interests in indigenous knowledge and science.

We are committed to help indigenous community developing competencies and youth capacity in research.

We believe that indigenous youth have the potential to succeed and to become driving force of change and adaptation to modern challenges faced by remote community. We are committed to support their idea, their knowledge and their projects.

Our vision is for research to be driven by and for indigenous community, and for indigenous youth to train other indigenous youth.

Our 3 main objectives are:

• to provide opportunities that generate interest in and understanding of research with indigenous youth;
• to develop advanced research and leadership competencies for indigenous youth;
• to develop a better awareness of indigenous cultures for the non-indigenous population.

Our approach promotes observation-based and hands-on learning, support multi-age, cross-generational and language-centered learning, and oriented towards solutions seeking for the common good.
