Transforming Power, Privilege and Prejudice Series – Building Equitable, Diverse and Inclusive Organizations
Session One: Building the Foundations to Transformative Action; Wednesday February 7, 2024, 9:30-11:30am
When people consider experiences of injustice and harm, we are often compelled to ask: How did we get here? This foundational session considers the definitions associated with equity, diversity, and inclusion, considers the history of “-isms” in the Canadian and global context, and invites participants to come close to their personal experiences with the reality of “-isms”. This session opens doors to empathy and builds a foundation for transformative action related to equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility.
Session Two: Transforming Tough EDI Conversations; Wednesday March 6, 2024, 9:30-11:30am
Transforming tough conversations related to equity, diversity, and inclusion depends on engaging multiple micro moments as “-isms” arise – often without much time to prepare. This session explores the micro-skills associated with engaging comments of concern and provides participants with the concrete tools necessary to nurture communities of belonging, one conversation at a time.
Registrants must attend both sessions.
