At Smash Education, we believe in fostering inclusivity, respect, and awareness in all aspects of our work. Today, we want to share why we are posting about land acknowledgment and why it's important to us as an organization. Honoring Indigenous Peoples: Land acknowledgment is a fundamental step in honoring the Indigenous peoples whose land we inhabit. It recognizes their enduring connection to the land and their invaluable contributions to our society. *Acknowledging History*: By acknowledging the history of colonization and dispossession, we strive to confront the injustices faced by Indigenous communities. It is essential for us to acknowledge this history and its ongoing impacts on Indigenous peoples today. *Promoting Reconciliation*: Posting about land acknowledgment is part of our commitment to reconciliation efforts. It encourages dialogue, understanding, and respect between different communities, contributing to a more equitable and inclusive society. *Educating Our Community*: Posting about land acknowledgment allows us to raise awareness about Indigenous cultures, histories, and contemporary issues. It provides an opportunity for us to educate our community and amplify Indigenous voices. *Demonstrating Respect and Gratitude*: Posting about land acknowledgment is a gesture of respect and gratitude towards the traditional custodians of the land. It recognizes their resilience, wisdom, and continued presence. *Environmental Consciousness*: By highlighting the interconnectedness between land, culture, and identity, we aim to promote environmental consciousness and sustainable practices. Acknowledging the importance of land stewardship aligns with our commitment to sustainability. Posting about land acknowledgment is not only a symbolic gesture for us but also a meaningful commitment to creating a more inclusive, respectful, and equitable workplace and society. Join us in acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land we inhabit and honoring their legacy. #LandAcknowledgment #Inclusion #Respect #Reconciliation #CompanyValues

Totally agree about First Lady Abby Cox statements on healthy disagreement! As humans, we have a lot more in common than differences. When we intentionally seek to being more understanding vs. being divided, we build better homes, societies, organizations, and a better world for future generations. #disagreebetter #ubuntuinutah #resilience #rwanda #afterallwaslost #reconciliation #peacebuilding #humanitymatters

Today is World Cities Day, a day recognized by the United Nations to promote sustainable and inclusive urban development around the world (United Nations, 2023). In this blog post, SCSC Research Fellow Prachir Pasricha shines a light on how the concept of the 15-minute city contributes to sustainable development for all, especially when it comes to building belonging and social connectedness. “The idea is both simple and transformative: all of us should be able to meet our everyday needs — specifically, living, working, supplying, caring, learning, and enjoying — within a 15-minute radius of where we live, without having to drive.” Read it here: https://buff.ly/3NdMaYj #WorldCitiesDay #Cities #15MinuteCity #Urbanization #Sustainability #SocialConnection #Belonging
