Are you a student, parent/guardian, educator, or school staff interested in creating a more inclusive school community? Join us for a free interactive facilitator-led webinar!

Our Draw-the-Line webinars provide tools to better recognize and intervene in harmful dynamics within school settings as well as strategies to proactively foster school communities that are grounded in safety, care, consent, trans affirmation and healthier relationships. We will also discuss how the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic relate to these dynamics.

Click the button below to find your webinar date to register or learn more! We are offering separate webinars for students, educators, and other adults or leaders in the school community!

Participants will leave these interactive webinars motivated to continue this important work in their own school communities, classrooms, and GSAs (virtual and otherwise), and equipped with further learning materials, lesson plans, activities and action ideas for doing so.

 

Webinar Schedule:

March 11 - Educators, Leaders, Other Adults

March 18 - Post-Secondary Students

March 23 - Open Registration

March 25 - Open Registration
