Why you can’t miss Courage to Act’s National Skillshare Series 

About Courage to Act

Courage to Act is a two-year national initiative to address and prevent gender-based violence on post-secondary campuses in Canada. It builds on Possibility Seeds’ vital report, Courage to Act: Developing a National Framework to Address and Prevent Gender-Based Violence. The project is funded through the Department for Women and Gender Equality (WAGE) and is part of the Federal Government 2018 Budget commitment of $5.5 million over five years to address and prevent gender-based violence at post-secondary institutions in Canada.

All sessions will be available in both English and French and captioned in both languages.

  • Uncover the tools, trends and strategies that will shape how we address and prevent gender-based violence on campus; 

  • Join a connected network of experts across Canada who are exploring urgent issues and promising practices;
