What do ACT members do?

Learning Edge Community Builders or “CBs” and Performances… CBs are activities during the workshops for ACT to interact with the Villanova community in order to build a universal experience and shared understanding while increasing awareness, knowledge, and skill surrounding issues of social justice, privilege, power, oppression and social identity. Performance based activities such as Orientation’s Touch of Diversity (10-30 minute performances is based on a compilation of faculty, staff, and student experiences (old and new) related to issues of difference, inclusion and the Villanova experience), can be a useful experience for faculty, staff, and student organizations to promote discussion in classrooms and team meetings in departments across campus. As well as include on syllabi and staff trainings. Both CB and performance presentations are followed by dialogue which debriefs the activity. This is a time for breaking down barriers and reflecting on the presentation.  While ACT does create and implement programs when a bias related incident occurs; ACT is more proactive than reactive.
