Does your institution have a policy or protocol to address sexual harassment in experiential learning?
If yes, do you know where to find it, how often it’s reviewed, and whether it’s practical, aligned and effective in real-world settings? If no, are you ready to start building one, and wondering what to consider, who to involve, and how to make it truly work?
In this first of a two-part session, we’ll explore the foundations of policy and protocol development specific to experiential learning contexts. You’ll identify key building blocks, common gaps, and opportunities to strengthen your institutional or organizational response.
Learning Outcomes:
1) Understand features of common scenarios students may face and begin to develop a repertoire of strategies for effectively responding.
2) Identify key dimensions of institutional policy that threaten timely and effective response, and begin to consider approaches that prioritize student safety, health, and well-being.
Webinars are offered at no charge. Attendees are provided with closed captioning and simultaneous French or English translation. If you have any additional accessibility requests to support your participation, please email us at communications@couragetoact.ca.
