The Education and Outreach unit facilitates education, competency and capacity building within the University of Waterloo. We aim to achieve this by:
- Providing training modules and workshops focused on anti-racism, anti-oppression, equity and transformative justice.
- Building trust and relationships with internal and external groups, particularly those from excluded, marginalized, and racialized communities.
- Forming strategic partnerships and collaborations that advance the equity and anti-racism mission of the University.
