SKILLS21 is on hold for the 2024/25 academic year. If you have questions about recognition of your participation, please email myinvolvement [at] mcgill.ca.
Use this series of questions to help you start thinking about your workshop. It can be useful to write out your responses so you can refer to them later, and/or to discuss your responses with colleagues or a co-facilitator. The prompts below are provided as a Mural, which you can save to your own account and interactively engage with. Learn more about creating and account and using Mural.
Visit the interactive Mural or download the worksheet.

While this web page is accessible worldwide, McGill University is on land which has served and continues to serve as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. Teaching and Learning Services acknowledges and thanks the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps mark this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. This land acknowledgement is shared as a starting point to provide context for further learning and action.
