Anti-Discrimination Response Training consists of mini-lectures, experiential learning activities, video presentations, group discussions, and feedback to build participants' confidence as active witnesses to stand up to discrimination.
This workshop provides an overview of how unconscious bias can seep into everyday interactions and explores what we can do to build the capacity to think and act with the conscious intent for inclusion.

At MacEwan University, we can express our authentic selves and feel comfortable and safe. This workshop focuses on challenging homophobic, biphobic and transphobic language and behaviours; building capacity to foster safe and inclusive LGBTQ2S+ environments; increasing familiarity with common words to express sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression; applying knowledge to situations of homophobic, biphobic and transphobic discrimination and harassment and planning effective ally behaviours and language.
Please email csgd@macewan.ca to register for a session.
This session will provide an opportunity for participants to reflect on their social location and how an awareness of our social location impacts communication
MacEwan’s Anti-Racism Learning Circle will give participants the knowledge and tools to address different forms of racism when they encounter it in their everyday work and learning spaces. The goal of these circles is to build a network of ‘anti-racism champions’ among MacEwan faculty and staff and to engage in ways to practically challenge racism that is witnessed and/or experienced in everyday life.
We can provide workshops tailored to the specific needs, time constraints and learning objectives of your department, class, faculty or club.
We can answer your questions about workshops or book a session for you and your group.
