Moving Towards Repair w/ Rania El Mugammar

Event Description - Moving Towards Repair: A Workshop on Interpersonal and Community Accountability

Rooted in the anatomy of an apology, this session explores the values and practices of meaningful repair, responsibility and transformation within interpersonal and collective relationships. Grounded within liberation politics and transformative justice, co-learners will reflect on punishment, transformation and healing, while grappling with the difficult and messy questions that emerge from this work.

About DisOrientation Week

This event is a part of OPIRG PTBO's Dis- Orientation Week, a week long program which offers an alternative guide to Trent University and the greater Peterborough community. We aim to equip students and community members with transferable tools they can use to engage with activism, political organizing and social and environmental justice. During Dis-Orientation Week, OPIRG partners with community-based organizations, non-profits, student groups and activists to host accessible events for the Peterborough-Nogojiwanong community.

This year, our theme is ‘From Undercurrents to Rising Waves: Activating Collective Resistance’ and was inspired by the collective and transformative power of water. Our main objective is to facilitate alliances and coalitions between local movements and organizations. Water is constantly modifying its environment, taking on many forms but always existing as a powerful collective – an aggregate of smaller particles always acting in union.

It is our hope during DisOrientation Week 2025, as Leanne Betasamosake Simpson eloquently writes, that we “truly listen to water” and begin a dialogue on how relationality and intersectionality can augment co-resistance. We look forward to organizations, groups, clubs, students and Peterborough residents collaborating to dream and conspire, with the common intention of building a world rooted in interdependence, justice, and care.
