At Halifax Humanities we strive to provide a learning environment of the very highest quality, one characterized by understanding, respect, and openness. To this end, we have taken responsibility to create and promote this environment for our Halifax Thinks class with the expectation that the Halifax Thinks participants are committed to upholding it.

This class is best when approached with patience and an open mind, recognizing that a serious learning experience will challenge our preconceptions and can change us and our attitudes. This is only possible when all participants have an opportunity to share their perspectives and be heard.

Participants have a right to and responsibility for contributing to a learning environment of mutual respect where the dignity of all members is valued.
