Equity and Diversity Student Workshops

Designed for elementary and high school students and supporting lessons their teachers deliver every day in their own classrooms, FSWC’s education programs provide engaging learning opportunities that confront hatred and intolerance. Based on the Equity and Inclusivity Strategy our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion workshops address Ontario Ministry of Education expectations while generating lively discussions that challenge perspectives and offer greater understanding of often difficult subjects.

In Canada’s increasingly diverse society, it’s imperative that people understand and appreciate the intersectionality of identity and recognize the importance of acceptance, respect and inclusion. FSWC education and diversity workshops provide the relevant knowledge and resources to help students of all backgrounds feel comfortable to exhibit their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, family status and any other part of their identity without judgment or harassment from others.

FSWC’s experienced and specially trained education team conducts a range of workshops in person and online for student groups across Canada. While each workshop has a specific focus, they all strive to foster a more positive and open-minded attitude in schools and everyday life by helping young people to better understand and respect the diversity of others. The goal of the programming is to teach about historical events while making real-world, contemporary connections and empowering youth to create positive change in their homes, schools and communities.
