SVPRO offers free educational workshops for UBC students, faculty, and staff that promote consent, prevent sexual violence, and build skills for responding to disclosures in trauma-informed ways. Get in touch with us to discuss.
Other Educational Options:
- Tabling: SVPRO volunteers and staff are available to set up a table or booth to connect directly with your community, answer questions, and share our resources.
- Media Literacy: SVPRO Media Literacy programming uses content from television, film, advertisements, music videos, or other platforms, to discuss the impact and ramifications of the messaging we are exposed to throughout our lives. Stay tuned to our Education page and Instagram for upcoming Media Literacy events.
- Consultation: If none of the education sessions above meet your needs, we encourage you to contact us at svpro.vancouver@ubc.ca to schedule a 30-minute consultation with an SVPRO Educator.
SVPRO Education Strategy
At SVPRO, we teach toward the world we want to live in. A world where everyone can thrive in communities built on respect, consent, and care.
We recognize that preventing sexualized violence requires more than changing individual behaviour. Our approach is multi-faceted, working to create attitudinal, behavioural, social, and systemic change through education, and community engagement.
Our work is grounded in intersectional feminist, anti-oppressive, strengths-based, and survivor-centred principles. We draw on knowledge from public health, education, psychology, social work, critical race studies, community planning, and public policy to create programs that empower individuals, and strengthen communities of care.
