7pm-8pm on Zoom. FRS is proud to sponsor this training and join forces with programming sponsor L’Oréal Paris. This 60-minute zoom workshop will leverage Stand Up Against Street Harassment's 5D’s methodology to help people safely intervene when they experience or witness harassment in public spaces. Throughout this 1 hour training they will use a clear, adaptable, and expert-approved set of tools that have been proven to reduce the prevalence of street harassment. The goal of the Stand Up program is to ultimately build a culture where street harassment is seen as unacceptable behavior. Pre-registration is required for this event and in order to run the program. Please sign up here.

How do we make communication welcoming for people of all ages, abilities, identities, and backgrounds? In this session we will explore our written and graphic communication styles according to the principles of Universal Design. Developed in the 1990s, Universal Design aims to create products and environments that are simple and useable for everyone. By looking at examples of emails, newsletters, posters, and virtual presentations, we will boost our own communication skills. Bring a laptop if you have one. Pizza will be provided.
