PEACE workshops are available to the UW-River Falls community. Student facilitators will join your department, organization, wing, floor, or classroom for an hour long workshop. These workshops are intended to raise awareness about diverse populations, build cultural competency and empower participants with knowledge about issues affecting various communities so that they may make more informed decisions.
Social Justice:
- Who Are You?
How do we define ourselves? How do we define others? This workshop addresses one of the most fundamental parts of social justice theory: identities. Who Are You is intended as an introduction to social justice conversations, where participants will consider how we as individuals and as a society create categories which help us understand ourselves and others. This is the first of two workshops intended to create a level of competence around social identity.

*All programs on gender and sexuality never assume the gender identity/expression or sexual orientation of the participants or the facilitators. These programs are presented in a manner that encourages the understanding that all people are very complex and hold many different social identities.
PEACE is currently taking workshop submissions, or requests to develop workshops in specific content areas; we are however unable to develop new workshops or tailor trainings for individual requests at this time.
PEACE Dialogues is a cohort based program where participants attend campus wide events and other experiential learning opportunities that focus on a specific identity or content area of social justice education.
