The 9th Annual Summer Institute is here!

The Guelph Resource Centre for Gender Empowerment and Diversity (GRCGED) and the Ontario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG) – Guelph are at it again, offering a summer series of intersectional workshops for the community-minded social and environmental justice activist. The series will run from late June to late July, and will feature 8 amazing free workshops that we’re really excited about.

• All workshops are being held in University Centre (UC) 441 on the U of G campus, a wheelchair accessible space.
• Snacks (but not a meal) will be provided – feel free to bring additional food for your break if you’d like.
• Child care is available upon request with 48 hours notice.
• Handouts can be made available in alternative formats with advance notice.
