Institute Details
Through the exploration of differences and commonalities, and the examination of the effect of discrimination, power, and privilege, group members work together to identify common ground in order to promote equity and social justice. Individuals learn how to listen and speak openly, engage with one another, take risks, explore differences and conflicts, and discover common ground in order to strengthen collective capacities and foster connections and alliances across social identity groups in order to promote social justice and change.
Participants will learn how to identify challenges within their own work groups and institutions and then how to develop specific actions plans that drive change and fosters inclusivity in order to create a sense of belonging within the environment. To create a global society in which all individuals can thrive takes a collaborative approach that involves all, and learning how to engage in dialogue around “hot topics” can lead to this society in which solutions to serious social problems are created.
Institutions, organizations, and corporations can take that lead through educating their staff in the diversity and inclusion model provided through this institute to foster peace and justice as well as develop specific plans of action for organizational change.
