What is the Sexism Response Workshop?
The Sexism Response Workshop uses improvisation as a tool to start a discussion about sexism. Participants act out different real-life scenarios and evaluate many different responses to sexist comments and actions. With the help of the Waterloo's Improv Club, we use improvisation activities to address a serious topic while still keeping it enjoyable. This workshop provides participants with strategies to effectively respond to sexism on campus and in the workplace.
