During our second Learner Voice Club meeting, learners explored the theme of inclusion. The discussion centred around how College accepts, values, and includes everyone. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, learners shared that:
“College includes us in everything.”
“We feel safe.”
“College opens its doors to everyone.”
“We’re accepted in the community because of the experiences college gives us.”
“College makes us feel important.”
“College treats us like adults.”
Additional reflections included:
The importance of work placements and being given time to grow.
Recognition that staff and learners do enough to include others.
Acknowledgment that staff look at our strengths and weaknesses and support us accordingly.
This session highlighted the learners’ appreciation for being treated with dignity, offered meaningful opportunities, and supported in ways that foster independence and community inclusion. #InclusionMatters
