Overview

Dealing with diversity issues is one of the fundamental challenges of our times. The push towards marriage equality, the #MeToo movement, and #BlackLivesMatter have been instrumental in raising awareness of these important dynamics. Yet as a society, we remain as polarized and divided as ever. These tensions get reflected in our organizations, teams, families and even in our relationships. Understanding and then facilitating these dynamics of systemic oppression is one of the keys in how we move towards a society that has fairness, justice and equity as its fundamental tenets.
This 12 hour training over four classes is designed to provide participants with an overview of four key dynamics we are required to understand and then build our facilitation skills around in order to more effectively work with these complicated and entrenched themes.
