Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

At KDPM we are passionate about promoting the expert viewpoint, research, voices and storytelling of Black, Indigenous and women of colour whose work focus on Human and Cultural Equity. Our mission is to decentralize the white gaze by building awareness of ancestral matriarchal intelligence and knowledge systems.


Collaborating with students to we aim to achieve 2 key outcomes:

  1. Catalogue and curate existing content
  2. develop and distribute a newsletter promoting our cause.


This will involve several deliverables:

  • Conduct / review background research on the cause
  • Design ways to implement existing database of content
  • Brainstorm journey sequences, topics, guide books and more for each issue.
  • Set, coordinate, and enforce deadlines.
  • Create materials to be published and making revisions based on feedback.
  • Proofread drafts of newsletters and recommending areas for improvement.


Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Recommend solutions to increase awareness of the cause.
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should achieve the 2 core project objectives:

How will you support learners in completing the project?

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. Our hope is to develop a collaborative working relationship where idea and implementation can be shared among the collective.


We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our organization’s mission and goals
  • Our awareness campaigns
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:

  • Awareness campaigns
  • Flodesk (email marketing software)
  • Social media and tools such as Canva

Nice to haves for students include

Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.
