About the Training
"The issues and "isms" held by people could be considered the external projection of power and privilege in life, or the fear of losing power, or the lack of power in life. This can lead adopted attitudes, judgements and "isms" that generate a station in life that insulates and protects, leading to a lack of understanding for people in a different situation. The focus of the workshop is to develop skills and understanding at involving a diversity of voices, feelings and opinions of all people as valued, irrespective of race, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, appearance, education, financial status, religion. The aim of the workshop is to develop a “diversity conscious mindset" is when we appreciate and acknowledge the creativity, flexibility and strength that human diversity gives us, whether on an organizational, cultural or individual level."
