Status: 䰿ѱʳշApril 2017- March 2018

The Right to Campus Toolkit project aims to foster increased equity, along with physical and social safety, on and around 鶹AV campus. This project involves the creation of a toolkit- targeted towards a 鶹AV audience, including:university administration, students leaders (in clubs and services), and students in general.The Toolkit serves as a resource to be consulted by students should they seek either campus-related information; connectivity and communication with other 鶹AV students, clubs, services, faculty, staff, or administration; or should they desire tools to empower them in fostering sustainable social activism, with the goal of promoting greater safety and equity on campus and within the 鶹AV community.

Read the full project description

The project team has noticedthat agap exists in existing resources addressing the intersectional dimensions of equity and safety - there lacks tools forempowering 鶹AV's population in promoting student equity and safety. Moreover, a lack of attention is being drawn to 鶹AV’scomprehensive resources that ultimately helps guide students through their university experience. Additionally, they seethere is adisconnect between students, university leaders and university officials with respect to safety strategies.

Theaim is to create increased equity within 鶹AV structures, processes, and system, through heightening the awareness among the individuals occupying these spaces regarding issues of intersectional oppression, and the importance of sustainable activism and equity. Through providing educational material, the projectcan propagate positive change within individuals tied to 鶹AV by increasing awareness, promoting constructive discussion, as well as through providing tools for them to share their knowledge with others, and carry on a movement through 鶹AV’s culture of increased equity and safety through heightened connectivity. Overall, the goal isto provide individuals with the tools necessary to create powerful and lasting change within 鶹AV.

Our Toolkit is based on three pillars: inform, navigate, and empower.The“Inform” section includes definitions and terms, a guide for key conversationshappening on campus, and useful dates to organize activism around; the“Navigate” section includes a comprehensive list of 鶹AV clubs and resources related to safety and equity, a guide to financial accessibility at 鶹AV, a series of ways to build your personal and professional skills, and interactive maps dedicated to specific student needs; and the“Empower” section includes a zine on personal safety strategies, a resource guide to promote communityinvolvement, and access to a safety audit tool.

The toolkitwill be used as a basis for events, awareness raising, activism, and resource seeking. Overall, theprojectteam seeks to promote a shift of 鶹AV’s culture towards an increasingly socially sustainable vision, and this will be accomplished through thetoolkit and its educational basis that promotes connectivity.

Funds from the SPF will be used to compensate two project coordinators, two assistants, the film producer, and graphic designer.Resources from the SPF will also be used to cater the launch event, and print the toolkit.
