The Equity Project
Elevating Human Rights, Diversity and Inclusion at MacEwan
This initiative supports projects that focus on diversity, inclusion, equity and/or human rights. Open to MacEwan University students, staff and faculty, project requests might include hosting a panel presentation, organizing a film screening, developing a poster campaign or other types of awareness-raising initiatives. We do not accept proposals to fund academic research that is carried out in the normal course of work or study or that may be eligible for research funding.
Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and should be submitted at least four weeks prior to your event.

The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (EDIC)

The committee provides input on the development of MacEwan’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan and institutional insight on strengths and opportunities related to diversity and inclusion practices across campus.
Understanding hate
Through public presentations, panel discussion, film screenings and other formats, we explore the topic of hate and its impact on diversity and inclusion.
United Nations Human Rights Awareness Days
