The BIRD program will support urban Indigenous high school students across the GTA to consider the education pathways within the Daniels disciplines of architecture, design, landscape architecture, forestry and visual studies and their related professional pathways. During the 2026 winter term, BIRD workshops will be led by faculty, students and staff and curated for an audience of urban Indigenous youth ages 14-18. Through BIRD engagement activities, Indigenous youth will consider how they would like to see Indigenous history, culture, identity and design reflected within architecture and design curricula. The feedback will potentially be incorporated into the curriculum of Daniels summer course offerings, and ultimately, all program offerings.
