Program Summary:
Pathways is a free program that supports BC-based arts, culture, and heritage organizations and collectives as they continue to embed equity and access into their work. This process looks different for each organization. It is an ongoing learning journey.
Participants will find a supportive community, individualized and relevant materials, and the time and resources to grow and deepen equity practices. Pathways also provides a means of accountability as you do this work.
What started as a year-long pilot program has developed into a network of over 150 organizations, of varying sizes and disciplines, from across the province that continue to grow, support, and learn from each other.Â
