Some people confuse sexual
harassment with office flir-
tation. It is important to
make the distinction. Office
flirtation can be harmless and
can be fim. But, the prerequis-
ite is that the interest must be
mutual and there must be no in-
timidation involved. When the
interest is one sided, and in-
stigated by one in authority,

it becomes harassment. When .
the harassment is enforced by
threats to economic security, it
is anything but "harmless."

RESOURCE PERSONS NEEDED FOR WORKSHOPS
IN AFRICA: JULY - AUGUST, 1982

 

The intermational Office, Association
‘of Canadian Community Colleges, is again
co-operating with the Commonwealth Assoc-
lation of Polytechnics in Africa (CAPA)
to hold three staff development work-
shops in Africa. The workshops are
aimed at department heads of technical
training institutions in Commonwealth
African countries.

This year plans are being made to hold
the five-day workshops in Tanzania,
Zambia, and the Gambia. A group of six
Africans (selected from participants in
workshops held in 1981) will come to
Canada for training and will serves as
part of the workshop resource team.

The three Canadian resource persons
selected will be expected to work with
the Africans while they are in Canada
and will work with them in conducting
the workshops in Africa.

CanacGian xesource persons should be cur-
rently employed within the community
college system in their own province.
Ideally, they should have experience

 

 

in conducting workshops and should
have administrative experience at the
commmity college level. In addition,
they should have expertise (training
and/or experience) in one or more of
the following areas: program and per-
sonnel evaluation, program develop-
ment, faculty development, budgeting
“and financial management, management
skills, communications skills, depart-
mental management and administration.
Work experience in the Third World
(expecially Africa) would be helpful
but is not essential. Applicants
for the Canadian resource team should
have sensitivity toward cultural dif-
ferences, a high degree of flexibility,
and an ability to work co-operatively
with persons of widely varied back-
grounds and personalities.

A time commitment of about 35 days

(from July 20 to August 23) is expected
from Canadian ressurce persons. Re-
source persons are expected to volunteer
their services in return for air fare
and a living allowance (sufficient to
cover accommodation, meals, and incid-
ental expenses).

The responsibilities of resource persons
will include planning the workshops,
meeting as a group prior to departure
to co-ordinate activities, travelling to
Africa to conduct the workshops, and
evaluating the results.

If you want to be considered as a pos-
sible resource person, please apply as
soon as possible (but by April 30, 1982,
at the latest) to:
