CORE Program

The CORE Program is a 1:1 educational violence prevention program for UVic students who are alleged to have caused harm under the Sexualized Violence Prevention and Response Policy, the Discrimination and Harassment Prevention and Response Policy, or other related policies. It is often part of a voluntary process, where the facilitator will tailor education to the specific behaviours involved and consider input from the program participant and the person who experienced harm.

Through participation in the CORE Program, students will build knowledge and skills around four CORE themes:

  1. Consideration: Students will build consideration, compassion and care for themselves and others. They will explore the impacts of sexualized violence, discrimination and harassment on themselves, survivors and the UVic community.
  2. Ownership: Students will reflect on their actions and be encouraged to take ownership of the harm caused. The program places emphasis on learning the difference between intent and impact.
  3. Repair: Students will consider ways to repair harm, centering the needs and wishes of survivors. They will explore the attitudes and behaviours they need to change, in order to ensure that the harm is not repeated.
  4. Engagement: Students will set goals to contribute to a culture of consent and respect on campus. They will explore ways to hold themselves accountable and to build a community supportive of their identified goals.

It involves an initial assessment to determine participant needs and educational goals, and between 1 to 5 1-hour educational sessions with a facilitator.
