The NEW Global Citizenship Program is at TrentU Durham GTA!
Upcoming Workshops
Overview
An interactive program designed to give participants the ability to learn skills and have influential experiences related to an interest area or stream.
Participants will attend an initial session that reviews the program guidelines and information related to the different streams that they can choose from. Once they have completed this session, they can join the stream they are interested in during the semester that it is running and begin to complete the goals, workshops, and activities related to the stream until they meet the requirements to obtain a stream certificate in the program.
Streams
- Leadership & Mentoring (Fall 2024)
The Leadership & Mentoring stream offers opportunities to learn different leadership strategies and skills that foster growth in the ability to lead, follow, and mentor others.
