Ending Gender Based Violence on Post Secondary Campuses

Graphic recording about ending gender based violence: promising practices, key policy areas, and prevention plans

Courage to Act is the first national project of its kind to address and prevent gender-based violence on post-secondary campuses in Canada led by Possibility Seeds. In 2021, Drawing Change supported 13 webinars as part of the National Skillshare Series: the webinars featured graphic recording, translation in two languages, and typed transcriptions to improve accessibility.

Personally, whenever we need to have courageous conversations – art is always a powerful way to open up that space. Graphic recording can be a way to help digest important information – and also to encourage people to work from a heart-space and process their own thoughts using art.

The 2021 National Skillshare series was an online webinar series that builds on Possibility Seeds’ vital report Courage to Act: Developing a National Framework to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence at Post-Secondary Institutions. This is first-of-its-kind national initiative that brings together post-secondary faculty, staff, students and other community members from across Canada to implement strategies and tools on campus to prevent and address gender-based violence. Learn more about promising practices, key policy areas, communities of practice and prevention plans at www.couragetoact.ca.

Online Graphic Recording

Using Zoom, we joined the webinars and created these illustrations live and in real-time. Participants could both follow along with the illustrations as the graphic recording was produced, and at the end of each session the images were shown to the audience to emphasize and reflect back the main points. All images were available online afterwards to keep the conversation going.
