Creating Inclusive Environments for Clubs and Groups
Creating an Inclusive Environment.Want to ensure that your Club is inclusive of all? Creating Inclusive Environments will help you put hopes into action. Through this synchronous workshop we will encourage you to think about inclusion as a verb, as action in addressing systemic oppression. We take time to think about what exclusion and inclusion are and how they affect students within U of T as a whole, as well as within Club settings. We work together through scenarios and discussion to brainstorm practical strategies to create more inclusive environments in your Club, communities and work.

About the Clubs Essential Training Program:
The Clubs Essential Training Program is offered to leaders and members of St. George campus organizations (i.e. recognized clubs and groups, student societies, program/course unions, councils) and participants receive the Clubs Essential Training certificate upon completion along with CCR recognition. It is a great way to learn more about the many aspects of being part of a club, building meaningful connections with other clubs and developing your own leadership skills.
