Note on the online materials:

This program uses online materials housed on the School of Global Citizenry (SGC) e-learning platform. There is a cost associated with accessing these materials ($89 USD) and a registration process that is not undertaken by MORSL. Students who wish to gain personal access to the materials and continue to engage with the content outside of the 3-day MORSL program must register and pay with the SCG. MORSL is able to offer an award of $125 CDN for students who complete all 3 days of the program with MORSL and meet all other eligibility requirements below. Note that your access to materials with SCG remains active for at least one year, so you can return to it any time you wish to refresh or reconnect and deepen practices you have experimented with.

If you are not certain that you will meet the eligibility criteria for the award, you can still attend the 3 days with MORSL without registering with SGC. However, you will only have access to material “live” as it is shared on screen. An option for you would be to attend Day 1 with MORSL, and then decide if you wish to register with SCG for Day 2 & 3 (and ongoing access once the MORSL program is over).
