ACADEMIC UPGRADING
& DEVELOPMENT
Your pathway to success starts here.
People come to Adult Basic Education (ABE) for many reasons; however, one thing is common: the chance of
success is greater when your path begins with ABE. Our entire program, our instructors, the way we teach and our
classrooms are designed to build your confidence as a learner and set you up for ongoing success. Upgrading in ABE
can help improve your understanding and your grades in pre-requisite courses, build your study skills and comfort
in a college setting and connect you to the College before your program begins. Upgrading in ABE can get you the
certificate or diploma you need to land a job or start the path to a career change. Anyone can take ABE courses.

THE MIR STORY STRETCHES
BACK CENTURIES
The Mir Centre was established
in 1999 with the mandate of
understanding and building cultures
of peace through education. An
ancient Russian word, “Mir” has
a complex meaning of peace,
community and world. It is housed
in a restored early 20th century
Doukhobor communal dwelling
on what once were traditional
aboriginal lands. A First Nations
arbour and meeting hall and a
traditional smoke house are situated
nearby. Today, the Mir Centre for
Peace at Selkirk College is the focal
point for many activities, all of
which build on the Centre’s inspiring
statement of mission:
| MIR CENTRE FOR PEACE |
BUEN VIVIR: “THE GOOD LIFE”
“Buen Vivir or Vivir Bien, are the Spanish words
used in Latin America to describe alternatives
to development focused on the good life in
a broad sense....It is a plural concept with
two main entry points. On the one hand, it
includes critical reactions to classical Western
development theory. On the other hand, it
refers to alternatives to development emerging
from indigenous traditions, and in this sense
the concept explores possibilities beyond
the modern Eurocentric tradition” (Edwardo
Gudynas, 2011, Society for International
Development). In a facilitated discussion, come
explore the indigenous concept that has been
spreading around the world as a guide post for
securing a world of collective well-being. Prereading of Gudynas’ short article, “Buen Vivir:
Today’s Tomorrow” is highly recommended.
