These free workshops are held with the intention of building a loose cohort and provide mentorship opportunities for people moving into anti-racist organizational or consultation work. This knowledge is often limited to institutions and this is an effort to provide free, public community resource-sharing. These sessions come from an abolitionist, trauma-informed and anti-racist perspective. Each training is followed up with a reflective discussion workshop, and there are opportunities to schedule free 1-on-1 consultation and mentorship time also (in Spring 2022). The goal is to pass on all lived and embodied knowledge to future practitioners. Some workshop descriptions, and the facilitator's bio can be read here: http://vovovovo.weebly.com/educ…

In this workshop participants will cover the following: 

  • Learn the difference between passive, assertive, and aggressive communication.
  • Understand the different communication styles inter-culturally, and how they interact. We reflect on ways to modify communication styles to bridge across different approaches.
  • We will look at collectivism vs individualism, and high vs low context cultures and how they contribute to expectations around communication.
  • This session will also cover different modes and objectives of communication, various cognitive and working styles, and how to address those differences in the workplace.
