Join our NSERC EDI Capacity Building Project Coordinator, Ece Arslan for conversations on creating meaningful inclusion on the campus, with a different theme on EDI each week.

Every Thursday between March 16th to April 6th, join an hour of conversation to imagine what meaningful inclusion can look like at Emily Carr University.

Each week, with a different theme, you will have a space to share your ideas, ask questions, answer questions, learn the opinions of community members, and meet folks who are also enthusiastic about bringing the much-needed change. No registration is needed!

Ece Arslan, Project Coordinator- NSERC EDI Capacity Building Grant will be hosting these event series, and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to them by email.
