The Centre for Career Action will be facilitating this workshop on networking and career search skills. This is great opportunity to refine your ability to make connections with professionals and practitioners in the field of peace and conflict studies. Undergraduate studies is about more than just academic work; it's also a chance to connect and collaborate with people who will be key to securing a career after school.

UPDATE: The event has been cancelled as of March 13, 2020. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Join Peace and Conflict Studies and the Kindred Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement on Tuesday, March 30, 7:30pm-9:30pm for a virtual production of “Unmute” by Theatre of the Beat. Unmute is a forum theatre piece that addresses the rise of domestic violence and gender-based assault during COVID-19. While a family’s life may seem normal from the other side of the screen, abuse is lurking behind closed doors. Immerse yourself in this important and timely piece that gives audience members the chance to rehearse scenarios for real life.

Where do we go to talk about our everyday traumatic experiences that we do not believe are worthy of sharing?
