In spring 2022, Selkirk College, College of Rockies, and North Island College entered into a partnership to plan and deliver a series of BCcampus sexual violence and prevention training workshops (Active Bystander Intervention, Supporting Survivors, Consent). This 75-minute information session will cover the planning and collaboration process, including how the three institutions worked together to coordinate marketing, registration, delivery, policy, and support services. This information session will offer tips and strategies for other rural post-secondary institutions to create their own cross-institutional partnerships.
