Early Childhood Workshop: Body Mapping

This workshop is intended for early childhood educators in Yellowknife.

Offered in French and in person at Collège Nordique, this creative and reflective workshop is led by Leticia Nadler Gomez. It invites participants to explore their experiences, emotions, and professional journey through drawing, painting, and collage in a respectful, safe, and supportive environment.

It will allow you to:

• take time to acknowledge your commitment to children throughout the past year;
• explore your experiences, strengths, challenges, and aspirations through a guided artistic process;
• reflect on your professional identity and journey in early childhood;
• experience a full day of renewal to begin the new year in early childhood with intention.

Using the outline of your body traced on a large sheet, you will be guided in creating a personal body map. No artistic skills are required — the goal is to express yourself freely, in your own way.

Spaces are limited to the first 10 registered participants. During registration, participants will also be able to indicate if they require childcare services for their children.

About the facilitator:

Leticia Nadler Gomez is passionate about supporting individuals and teams in educational settings. She has worked for several years in Northern francophone environments, where she focuses on identity and professional transformation processes among early childhood and after-school practitioners.

Through her research and practice, she explores how public policies, life paths, and cultural contexts shape the way we think, feel, and act with children. Her approach is human-centered, reflective, and deeply rooted in lived experience.
