Webinar: Arts-Based Approaches to Gender-Based Violence Prevention with Immigrant and Refugee Families

The Learning Network & Knowledge Hub is offering a webinar titled “Arts for Creative Healing Communities: Gender-based Violence Work and Prevention with Immigrant and Refugee Families.”

This webinar will explore how creative practices can open new pathways to healing, connection, and belonging for immigrant and refugee families. It will feature two community-based teams — HEAL in Toronto and Art et contes in Montreal — who use arts-based interventions to support families at risk of experiencing gender-based violence.

The session will include visual storytelling, reflections from program facilitators, and insights into how arts-based approaches can enhance well-being, foster resilience, and promote integration and belonging in community settings.

This webinar may be of interest to practitioners working in gender-based violence prevention, newcomer and refugee family support, arts-based programming, and trauma-informed community care.
