- identify the impacts of microaggressions on the individual and the team
- practice skills for responding to microaggressions and other exclusionary behaviours
Intercultural Communication
3-hour workshop
We live, and work, in a multicultural setting. Unfortunately, differences among us may lead to miscommunication and conflict. This interactive workshop encourages reflection about our experiences as members of diverse communities and workplaces and to help develop inclusive attitudes. Participants learn to appreciate what others bring to the table, while identifying ways to understand and meet mutual needs to attain a win-win outcome. Participants have the opportunity to practice skills, identify and overcome challenges through self-reflection, simulations, small group exercises and large group discussion.
