LIBRE (Leading Inclusion and Belonging with Resources and Education) is a series of workshops and a project that will deepen your development of a justice-oriented intercultural lens which will allow you to contribute to a community of belonging at Northeastern. This is the first year this dynamic program is being offered and we are excited to learn with you along the way

Developed and facilitated by the Cultural Life Education Team, a team of skilled staff facilitators from various departments at Northeastern who are trained and coached by the CIE-SJRC and LEAD360 of the Center for Student Involvement, the LIBRE program is an immersive experience of learning in community with knowledgeable staff and a peer student leader community.

The LIBRE Program has three levels. You may choose to do all three levels or stop at any time. Completion of each level of the program will make you eligible for a LIBRE Collective digital badge which you can upload onto your personal LinkedIn profile. The badge is a great way to share the skills you develop as a result of this program.
