Description

Racism, within our colonial settler environment, is entrenched.  While it won’t go away easily, we can build our understanding, skill, courage and humility to dismantle racism.  In doing so, we are able to transform ourselves, our organizations and our society.  This workshop is for those working within community based organizations, in any role, who have gained a basic understanding of the impact racism and colonization have on our communities and want to further explore this issue to gain skills that support making change.​  

Learning Objectives

• Build skills and practices that support the transformation of racist settler colonial culture within ourselves and our organizations, whether we experience internalized oppression or internalized superiority.

• Learn how to shift perspective, power and dialogue for creative problem solving.

• Explore how the trauma and harm of oppression impacts our bodies and how we can use our bodies to heal and continue the work of dismantling racism.
