SVP workshops

UFV offers workshops on sexualized violence prevention facilitated by the In This Together team. The workshops range from 60-90 minutes long and are led by two Peer Educators. We often facilitate these workshops at the request of faculty during class. However, UFV student clubs and associations are welcomed to reach out to us for facilitation as well. Please email inthistogether@ufv.ca to learn more or to schedule one of our workshops.
