MonsterArts for Youth program by monstrARTity

Are you a teacher looking for a fun way to educate your students on other cultures?

Visit MonsterArts.ca/Youth  to learn about requesting a South Asian arts workshop for your class. (If you’re not a teacher, quick, tell your teacher friends!)

Started in 2013, the #MonsterArts for Youth program by monstrARTity helps teachers fill gaps in South Asian curriculum by providing school children of all backgrounds hands-on workshops in Bollywood and Bhangra dance, Hindi music, ghazal writing, mandala-making, filmmaking and more.

Supported by the Peel District School Board, Halton Catholic District School Board and York Region District School Board, workshops led by professional artists are available virtually to schools in BC and ON and in-person to schools in ON.

Benefits

  1. Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression: South Asian students will see themselves reflected in the curriculum, while creating safe and inclusive space for students of all backgrounds to engage in South Asian culture
  2. Mental Health: students express themselves, relieve stress and anxiety, and explore their experiences and emotions
  3. Social Studies: teachers can connect arts education with curriculum regarding traditions, material culture, identity within a multicultural society and human impact on the environment.   
  4. Arts Education: teachers get access to expert resources to expand the students’ exposure to classical and contemporary South Asian art forms

The program has reached over 23,000 students to date!

Make Workplaces Safer For Women

Make workplaces safer for women. Check out the great resource for Employers – Domestic Violence at Work portal

The Domestic Violence at Work portal at University of Western Ontario, was created in partnership with the Government of Canada to help federally-regulated workplaces comply with new legislation (Bill C-65).  Bill C-65 recognizes that domestic violence is life-threatening, and that the workplace can be a life-saving support or haven for someone experiencing violence at home. By law, employers must provide training to all employees and have a domestic violence policy in place.
The Domestic Violence at Work portal houses free tools employers can use to comply with Bill C-65. This includes staff training, a workplace policy maker, and a tool to assess risk if an employee discloses domestic violence.
There has been an increase in reports of domestic violence during the Covid-19 pandemic, so it is urgent that workplaces comply.
