We have adapted our in-person training to a virtual format. It is organized in partnership with the WestTO Collaborative: Alexandra Park Neighbourhood Learning Centre, Davenport Perth Neighbourhood & Community Health Centre, LAMP-CHC, West Neighbourhood House and Parkdale Project Read.

The focus of the training is:

To frame teaching and learning through an anti-oppression lens and learner-centred approach

To provide tools needed to build non-judgemental, trauma-informed partnerships
To identify socio-political barriers to learning and share educational resources

To develop self-awareness, empathy, active listening skills
