Workshops Available on Request
The University of Alberta Sexual Assault Centre offers workshops and training to staff, faculty and students. Workshops are provided on an ongoing basis, and are also available on request by reaching out to edcoord@ualberta.ca.
Working for Change
In this workshop, participants will engage in an open discussion about sexual violence prevention and consent. Together, we will learn about important definitions, break down common myths and misconceptions, learn how to support survivors of sexual violence, and talk about ways we can work towards prevention in our everyday lives.
Supporting Survivors
All of us are likely to receive a sexual violence disclosure at some point in our lives. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn best practices for supporting survivors and engage in role play to practice their skills.
When Your Friend Caused Harm
When we talk about support, we often focus on people who have experienced harm. This workshop, developed at the Office of Sexual Violence Prevention, Education and Response at MacEwan University, takes a deep dive into how to support people who have caused harm in accessing resources and taking accountability. Through a combination of lecture and interactive activities, workshop participants explore definitions of harm, accountability and practical strategies for when someone in your life causes harm.
Consent in Practice
Intended for U of A students and staff, this workshop discusses what we know about consent and where that understanding comes from, explores how we experience consent in our day-to-day lives and unpacks how fear of rejection shapes how we practice consent. This workshop is highly interactive, including ample discussion and activities to give you a deeper understanding of the topic and how it relates to your life.
Media Literacy Micro-Series
In a short, digestible format, this workshop series provides media literacy tips and tricks focused on violence prevention. Topics range from (mis)representation in television and movies, the normalization of stalking, and critical engagement with the messages sent about sex in sitcoms. Participants will leave with tangible skills to bring to their personal media consumption.
Bystander Intervention
Learn about everyday ways that you can intervene to prevent violence. In this discussion-based workshop, participants will get creative in coming up with different ways to intervene based on their own unique skill sets and identities. Common barriers to intervening will be addressed, and strategies for overcoming them will be provided.
