We currently offer trainings in two subject areas:
Anti-Oppression / Anti-Racism 101
Our introductory workshops, delivered by individuals with lived experiences of oppression, help define for participants colonialism, anti-Blackness, Islamophobia, gender oppression, and many other forms of oppression in the Canadian context.
Indigenous Awareness and Respectful Relations
Positive Indigenous-non-Indigenous relations stem from a reciprocal understanding of histories and cultures. Our training sessions have been developed and are facilitated by a team of Indigenous professionals to assist attendees in establishing an understanding of Indigenous histories, cultures, practices, and protocols. Our team of Indigenous teachers and researchers are passionate about expanding non-Indigenous awareness and understandings of Indigenous culture, thereby facilitating more respectful relationships between communities. Offered in half-day, full day, and two-day formats.
