Many organizations participate in denouncing oppression and uplifting equity through statements, pictures, and initiatives. Some organizations have mastered Visual Diversity 101; however, that is where diversity, inclusion, equity, and anti-racism stall. Moving your Diversity Initiative to Inclusion, Equity and Anti-Racism is an interactive practitioner-based Micro-LearnShop™ designed to regenerate your DEI goals and outcome.
Participants will:
1. Actively participate in learning to gain perspective.
2. Learn four overarching themes required to move beyond DEI words and thoughts.
3. Have a 2023 Call to Action-They will select from a list or establish one action item for 2023 to move DEI and Anti-Racism to equity and inclusion.
