Anti-Oppression Training

A form of education that examines an anti-oppressive framework. This means that we recognize the oppression that is built into our systems and institutions and challenge inequalities and injustices that allow one group to dominate over another. Anti-oppression training introduces concepts of power and privilege, while teaching the difference between equity and equality. An anti-oppressive framework allows us to understand our place within these systems, question our practices, and create new approaches that counter oppression and move us closer to reconciliation and decolonization.

Support And Sustainability

The initial creation of this website was made possible by a grant from Canada Council for the Arts.

Ongoing expenses include website domain renewal, labour for content updates, and maintenance. These expenses are anticipated to be between $2000 - $3000 per year.

Arts groups and organizations are invited to contribute $100 annually towards the Accessibility Project, in the form of a Community Sponsorship. Funds collected go towards all of the Project's activities, including keeping the website up-to-date and operational. Send us a note if you're interested in contributing.

Donations from individuals or companies are gratefully accepted and welcome at any time.

* Donations are made through Eastern Front Theatre and go into a designated Accessibility Project fund. Funds will only be used for Accessibility Project activities.
