In a world wrought with injustice, preparing this generation to become advocates for change is a difficult undertaking. However, the TUNNEL OF OPPRESSION attempts to tear down a very controversial barrier that divides those who do not understand oppression and those who live it.
The TUNNEL OF OPPRESSION is a multimedia tour designed to challenge peoples' ideas and perceptions of issues dealing with oppression. The Tunnel experience involves participants touring a series of rooms that present interactive skits, various multimedia (videos, sound, images), and role-playing to raise awareness of acts of oppression that exist globally and in our own society.
Participants begin by touring the Tunnel is small groups and then have an opportunity to process their experience.
The doors open at 6PM. Groups or individuals who wish to attend this year's program are strongly encouraged to arrive early to get your name(s) on the tour list.
The Tunnel of Oppression is sponsored by Residence Life's elMundo Diversity Initiatives, Residence Hall Association, and University Activity Board's Diversity Initiatives.
