AVP’s Workshops
We are currently offering online and in person sessions of our free workshops! The first is our Understanding Consent Culture Workshop, and the second is our Supporting a Survivor Workshop, both of which will be run multiple times throughout the semester.
Both workshops are filled with opportunities for discussion and learning new practical skills. Whether you’re learning about consent and support for the first time or these are topics you’re familiar with, these workshops offer the chance to cover some basics and dive into the nuances. All our workshops are open to anyone – students, faculty, staff and community members.
Workshops are free but registration is required and participants will receive a secure Zoom videoconferencing link or directions to the venue to your email. UVic students can also receive co-curricular credit for attending AVP workshops which looks great on your transcript.
