Violence Prevention and Diversity (VPD)
Violence Prevention and Diversity (VPD) is the over-arching umbrella for the four human rights educational programs offered by the Center for the Study of Sport in Society. These action oriented programs aim to encourage, empower, engage and influence young people and adults to speak on issues surrounding violence, diversity, conflict resolution, inclusion and social justice. Violence Prevention and Diversity utilizes the power and appeal of sport to address racism, sexism, ableism, and heterosexism in society by raising awareness, challenging thinking and inspiring leadership.
