Introduction to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging: Finding Ourselves and Staying In the Conversation About Race - and Affinity Group Experience
This course is geared towards adult professional learners. The presentation is both didactic and interactive. PowerPoint, media, and breakout discussion rooms are all integrated throughout this training. We will discuss how to collaborate with clients in creating a culture to stay in conversation about race. Concepts such as the difference between Brave and Safe Spaces will be distinguished. Time will be set aside for participants to reflect on how to explore and identify their own identity in terms of intersectionality of power, privilege and oppression. We will provide definitions for bias, prejudice, discrimination and racism in order to establish a shared language. The 4 I�s (Ideology, Institutional, Interpersonal & Internalized Oppression) will also be reviewed. Participants will come to a better understanding of what privilege looks and feels like, as well as its impact on others. Strategies for addressing the pitfalls of �being good� versus �good enough� will be explored. And, finally, an individual Action Plan for participants to address institutional racism in their own unique way will be established.

Create a greater self-awareness of how you are impacted by and/or contribute to structural racism
Prepare an individualized action plan for addressing institutional racism in your own personal and unique way
