The Immigrant Welcome Centre’s Welcoming Communities Coalition is inviting local employers and those in leadership roles to find out what it takes to build an anti-racist, diverse and inclusive organization.
The Coalition is holding Anti-Racism Workshops for Workplaces next month.
The one-day workshops, one each in Campbell River and Courtenay, will provide a safe space for participants to foster growth in their understanding of race and racism; learn more about the structures that support it; and dissect our own roles in supporting or disrupting it, in life and in workplaces.
Organizations can register any employee who is in a supervisory, management, or owner role or who has the support from these roles to share learnings with colleagues and implement change.
Participants will learn about anti-racism and inclusion theory, practice being an anti-racist ally, and learn from their peers, and come away with techniques to incorporate anti-racism, diversity, and inclusion into their workplace policies, practices, and culture.
The Campbell River workshop takes place on Monday, Feb. 6 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the North Island Employment Foundation Society’s office.
The Courtenay workshop is on Wednesday, Feb. 8 at the Immigrant Welcome Centre’s downtown Courtenay office.
The cost is $30 plus GST (lunch will be provided) and the deadline to register is January 25th and space is limited.
