5 Days of Action

November 4 - 8, 2024

Please save the date! More to come soon.

5 Days of Action is a free, week-long event aimed at amplifying the work groups, units and organizations are doing to create a more diverse, inclusive and equitable campus and community throughout the year. Each day of the week represents a different call to action. Monday asks us to listen, Tuesday-reflect, Wednesday-dialogue, Thursday-engage, and Friday-take action. There will be many opportunities to reflect on what we can do as individuals and as part of a team to improve the sense of inclusion and belonging in our greater community.

During the event, we encourage you to take part by: visiting one of our artistic events; attending a workshop or seminar; or stopping by our 5 Days of Action Hub in front of Petch Fountain. 

Any UVic community member can host or facilitate an event over the course of the week, or anytime throughout the year. No matter how we engage, 5 Days of Action: 365 of Commitment is an opportunity for our community to highlight our shared commitment to end discrimination, harassment, and sexualized violence.


If you have an event or program that you want to be spotlighted during the week, or you want to discuss ways to get involved, please contact us at daysofaction@uvic.ca.

Accessibility statement

As organizers of 5 Days of Action (5DoA), we strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable everyone to engage fully. While we are working towards being accessible to all, we are not there yet. We hope to opt for an access over accommodation approach whenever possible. This means that our event will have a combination of measures in place to help folks attend; some will be built in through our planning, and some will be created around individual requests.  

As our event shapes up, we plan to share what the 5DoA's Accessibility Committee is committed to doing this year, and our plans moving forward.

If you have ideas or considerations on how to improve 5DoA events, please reach out to .

 

This event is held on the UVic campus, traditional territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples, and the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
