| Title: | United Against Terrorism: Building Bridges Across Borders |
|---|---|
| Project Description: | Our Virtual Exchange project, “United Against Terrorism: Building Bridges Across Borders,” brings together students from Seneca College and the University of Florida to explore and address complex challenges in counterterrorism. Through cross-cultural training, international skill based workshops, and collaborative project design, students develop empathy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills necessary for effective counterterrorism measures. They engage in scenario-based discussions and active shooter response simulations to assess and improve preparedness. By fostering global cooperation and understanding diverse perspectives, the project aims to cultivate responsible and innovative approaches to enhance public safety in the US, Canada, and beyond. |
