Keeping Your Cool: Effective Allyship Engagement
Creating truly inclusive spaces requires more than just good intentions. We often find ourselves on uncertain grounds, trying to bridge gaps and understand diverse perspectives. The best intentions can sometimes be overshadowed by the challenges of genuinely understanding and engaging with those different from us. Topics that touch on identity, such as diversity, equity, and inclusion, can cause discussions to become intense, making it a challenge to stay connected and engaged with those around us.
Join us for an enriching session designed to nurture your journey towards becoming a more effective ally. With warmth, understanding, and evidence-based techniques, we will delve into:
