Digital Hate: In recent years digital space has become increasing prominent in the lives of young people around the world. It has become a space of progress and social change, as well as a space of intolerance filled with misinformation. The objective of this workshop will be to explore this new space and understand how it affects our students. Together we will explore cyberbullying and the real life consequences of this increasingly dangerous and growing trend. We will look at the responsibilities that come along with online activity and explore the dark world of digital hate.
Racism and Anti-Semitism in Canada: For over a decade incidents of antisemitism in Canada have been on the rise. Through this programme students will explore what racism is, how racism affects them, and how racism affects the Canadian community. Students will also learn about different forms of racism in Canada, focusing on antisemitism and hate crimes both locally and nationally in the hopes of creating awareness and dialogue. This programme will enable students to foster attitudes of respect and tolerance in their home, school, and community. |
