Respectful Workplaces in the Arts (RWA) Workshop - Nova Scotia

Respectful Workplaces in the Arts (RWA)

Respectful Workplaces in the Arts is a national campaign to build a sector-wide culture of fairness, dignity and respect.

Agenda:

• Introduction, ice-breaker
• Project genesis
• Objectives, guidelines and disclaimers
• Presentations and discussion on behaviour
• Provincial and territorial legislation: discussion and definitions (harassment, bullying, etc.)
• Working towards respectful workplaces
• Case studies

With financial support from Canadian Heritage, the Cultural Human Resources Council (CHRC) is offering free virtual workshops on Maintaining Respectful Workplaces to deal with and remove harassment in the sector – including sexual harassment, bullying, discrimination and violence. The workshops provide information on provincial and territorial legislation and present case studies designed to help navigate the complexities of problematic situations. These are not legal clinics or therapy sessions; they are conversations facilitated by experienced cultural sector leaders. The workshop objectives are to help artists and organizations shape safe and healthy workplaces and develop their own policies to minimize the risk of harassment in the workplace.
