Roots of Belonging: Cultivating Inclusion & Allyship
This event is hosted by the Queen's Shift Project and students from NURS405.
Roots of Belonging: Cultivating Inclusion & Allyship is an interactive event hosted by The Queen’s Shift Project as part of Student Voices Week. This initiative seeks to challenge ableism and promote genuine allyship by providing a space for students to engage in meaningful discussions and take action toward creating a more inclusive campus culture. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their role in shifting campus culture, moving beyond performative diversity efforts to drive real change.
The event will begin with a short screening of Shift Shorts episode featuring student voices and lived experiences with both visible and non-visible disabilities. This will set the stage for an open discussion on ableism, allyship, and meaningful inclusion. Following the discussion, attendees will take part in "The Belonging Tree," an interactive art activity where they will express what allyship means to them by writing or drawing on a leaf to add to a collective tree—symbolizing advocacy for accessibility and equity in daily life.
In addition to engaging discussions and creative expression, attendees will have the chance to connect with like-minded peers over free food and collaborative conversations.
