Multicultural and Social Justice Education Workshops
Multicultural and Social Justice Education Workshops
The IUPUI Multicultural Center’s Multicultural Peer Educators (MPEs) are undergraduate students committed to promoting multicultural and social justice education through understanding of self and others, while increasing awareness and knowledge of diversity, equity, and inclusion-related issues through intentional and meaningful dialogue. Our MPE’s receive top-notch training from the MC Staff to conduct an array of workshops for IUPUI students.
At this time, workshops can only be scheduled via the link and all availability is listed. Workshops will not be offered during school breaks or after the last week of November.
At this time we offer the following one-hour workshops for your students:
This workshop is an introduction to diversity at IUPUI. We address how diversity is represented on campus, how IUPUI defines diversity, and the role that the Multicultural Center has on campus.
Deepen knowledge and awareness about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and understand the value of multiple perspectives.
Explore how our multiple cultural and social identities, values, and beliefs influence our sense of self and how we relate to one another.
