Anti-Islamophobia 1O1 Virtual Workshop

The Anti-Islamophobia 1O1 virtual workshop seeks to address the realities of Islamophobia and the way in which it operates within Canadian society. The workshop will help participants critically examine the impacts of Islamophobia on the lives of Muslims living in Canada and how it further marginalizes Black and Indigenous Muslims, queer Muslims and Muslims with disabilities. Participants will learn how to be active allies to counter Islamophobia.  

Countering Cyberhate 1O1 Virtual Workshop

The Countering Cyberhate 1O1 Virtual Workshop aims to help participants better understand online hate speech and extremism, including counter speech and counter-narrative. With the incorporation of real-life examples, alongside live discussions on effective strategies to counter online hate, participants will have an increased capacity to recognize online hate and build the required skills and resources to counter cyberhate speech and narratives effectively.

The information you provide will be treated confidentially and will not be linked to you in any way. These will be summarized in aggregate form to help CCMW effectively plan D.A.R.E.2  programming & inform the project’s final evaluation report.
