Description

The Antigonish Women’s Resource Centre and Sexual Assault Services Association has been funded by Justice Canada to develop a new training program specifically for post-secondary institutions in Nova Scotia that will teach students about sexual violence and provide techniques to intervene before violence is perpetrated.


In developing this program we have made it a priority to ensure that the training is student- and survivor-centred. This means we want YOUR input and ideas to help direct the learnings and structure of this new program.


Come out and discuss your concerns about sexual violence on your campus.


When: January 26 2018, 9am-4pm

Where: Saint Mary’s University, Sobey Building room 422

What:

  • student panel
  • small group discussions
  • lunch (provided!)

Who: any student currently attending a post-secondary institution in Nova Scotia. We are particularly interested in gaining feedback from Aboriginal students, students of African descent, LGBTQ+ students, and student survivors, however everyone is invited!


Looking forward to this exciting event and learning with and from you!
