Registration Deadline: Sep 18, 2023 09:00 AM

Creating an Inclusive Environment. 
This synchronous workshop is part of the Learning to Lead program and the Mentorship Foundations training. Creating an Inclusive Environment 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. We reflect on some of the different ways exclusion takes place for U of T students in everyday life and we brainstorm practical strategies to create more inclusive environments in your communities and work.
