What will EPI cover and what can I expect?
Over the three days of online discussions, activities, and facilitated reflection, you will:
- Learn artist-centered practices for building effective programs, and inclusive, practical frameworks to identify and understand barriers;
- Connect with colleagues across the field; and
- Leave with actionable next steps to accomplish your goals.
Do I need to attend all three days?
Yes. Because the content builds on itself, it is important that attendees participate in all three days of the program (October 13 from 12 - 2pm ET, 19 + 20 from 12pm-5pm ET).
Can I share my login with my colleagues?
No. In order to foster a more transparent workshop environment for all participants, please do not share your unique registration with your colleagues or other organizations. We welcome you to register each interested college through a discounted team registration rate.
Can I share my screen with my colleague(s) under one registration?
No. In order to foster a more transparent workshop environment for all participants, please register each staff person individually.
