Description:
This 24-month project will harmonize approaches to addressing and preventing Gender Based Violence (GBV) at post secondary institutions (PSIs) across the country. Growing from the promising practices, suggested tools, protocols and programming articulated in the Framework Report, this project’s activities in year 1 seek to develop key protocols, tools and programming that will be tested and refined in year 2. In addition, Possibility Seeds Consulting will develop key materials including an outline of priorities at the end of this project. All tools, protocols and programming will be developed to ensure that PSIs, from small to large, from urban to rural, will be able to implement the Framework in ways that speak to the unique needs of each campus community. The Communities of Practice will be key in supporting the implementation of the Framework moving forward.
