CANVAS Arts Action Programs

Published purpose

Through this 31-month project, CANVAS Arts Action Programs (CANVAS) will scale their Consent Kit Program, aimed at preventing GBV in schools, to strengthen the GBV sector. It will scale to include the Peel District School Board (PDSB), which has the highest percentage of students identifying with a racialized group. CANVAS’ Consent Kit program will increase safety and cultivate more inclusive schools for both survivors and populations at-risk of experiencing GBV across the PDSB. To do so, the organization will revise their Consent Kit program following consultations; build new partnerships and programming; and deliver the Consent Kit program to students and teachers in the PDSB. CANVAS will share evaluation findings and promising practices from the Consent Kit project through in-person conference(s), online activities, and with WAGE’s GBV Knowledge Centre so that others may replicate it or expand upon it.
