The Cascades of Change to Inclusive Leadership and Respectful Engagement is a new self-paced program for UBC staff and faculty. This program engages participants in two simultaneous streams of learning—Anti-Oppression and Indigeneity—to equip them with the comprehensive tools required for inclusive leadership and respectful engagement.
It offers 25 hours of hands-on learning, following completion of prerequisite Canvas courses. Upon completion, participants will earn certificate in both Anti-Oppression and Indigeneity.

Grounded in the Strategic Plans of Three Faculties
Applied Science identifies in the priority areas of the Strategic plan both inclusive leadership and respectful engagement and responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action.
Land and Food Systems' Action plan pillars of People and Places, Transformative Learning, Research Excellence and Local and Global Engagement also demand a solid understanding of anti-oppression principles and Indigenous understanding and working towards reconciliation.
Forestry's Strategic plan identifies four strategic core areas, including People and Places, with a large emphasis on EDI principles, and Local and Global Engagement with an emphasis on Indigenous engagement.
Our goal is that you will find this program engaging, low barrier and flexible. Thank you for starting your journey with Cascades of Change! We are excited to see the impacts of your journey in your work and classrooms.
