EDIA 0100: Foundations is a course for all of us in the UM community including UM students, staff and faculty.
Next EDIA 0100: Foundations course in Winter 2025
Students, staff and faculty can apply from Nov. 21 to 28
The next offering of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (EDIA) 0100: Foundations, the prerequisite course for the Micro-certificate in EDIA from Extended Education, is coming this Winter.
Students, staff and faculty are invited to apply from Nov. 21 to 28.
The first offering of the course, offered at no cost to the UM community, wrapped up in June. “It was amazing,” says Robin Attas, Project Lead, University of Manitoba Equity Diversity Inclusion Accessibility credential. “It was exciting watching people interact with each other across roles. Staff, faculty, undergraduate and graduate students were all having important conversations and helping each other to learn more. Everyone was teaching and learning from each other.”
Learners who complete the prerequisite can go on to the three-course micro-certificate, introduced in Fall 2024, to expand on their EDIA learning.
EDIA 0100: Foundations and the Micro-certificate in Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (EDIA) are offered in partnership with the Office of Equity Transformation and with the support of the UM President’s Office as part of UM’s efforts to improve equity and access across UM campuses by educating and empowering UM staff, students and faculty to contribute to individual and collective transformation.
“We can all do and learn more. Whether you are an expert or just beginning your journey with EDIA, you have a place here,” says Attas.
