Who's Got the POWER?

 

An Analysis of Oppression, Privilege and Power, a.k.a O.P.P. 

How does systemic power inter-relate to equity and inclusion? Through a power analysis, participants explore how the significance of poverty and systemic injustice impact marginalized communities. Learn how gatekeeping and divide and conquer tactics break down relationships and unity between subjugated groups positioning for justice. Designed as a comprehensive analysis of systemic power and how it inter-relates to equity and inclusion. The goal is to provide participants with the knowledge, common language and skills to build an inclusive and equitable learning community.

Communication Skills for a Cancel Culture

 

Engaging across the table with those who have shared ideals is hard enough? How do we effectively remain thoughtfully engaged through moments of difficulty (triggers, micro and macro insults)  with those on opposite sides of an issue? Here we introduce practices for culturally informed inquiry and discovery learning to further support and sustain mutually inclusive multicultural environments. Participants will acquire skills to help filter judgment based assumptions from fact based observations in order to improve relationships and engage authentically with cultural humility to counter racism within the 21st Century.​

Othering, Outliers and Allies

     

Learn the impact of othering through a highly experiential workshop.

Movement and role-play engage our understanding of equity, prejudice and the effect of systemic injustice on underserved communities.
