This is a training for developing intercultural competency designed for all people with a background in soulful work like that done in the ManKind Project, Woman Within International, HER, Women in Power, UnderstandMen, Animas Valley Institute, Illuman, Evryman, and others.
This course is for anyone looking to build intercultural competency skills, gain deeper self-awareness, and build broader compassion and connection with others. In this online expansion of the original Isms & Issues training, we are setting out to learn a model of multicultural awareness and to provide a common language and common ground for multicultural dialogue and relationships.
We do this so we can have meaningful and heartfelt discourse on a range of important issues, including racism, classism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia, ableism, ageism, and more.
What You’ll Get …
Context for understanding multicultural work
Leaning in to how the “isms” live in our bodies
A deep dive into our own identities and how we learn
A useful toolkit to have in daily interactions
Models for behaviors to be an Ally and Advocate.
Learning a model of multicultural awareness – to provide a common language and common ground for multicultural dialogue and relationships. We are doing this urgent and essential multicultural work so that we can have cogent, meaningful, and deep discourse at a time when understanding one another is the only way we can move forward. We will do exercises to experience how the “isms” live in our bodies, practice together to explore the model’s effectiveness, and put together a toolkit that may be useful in our daily interactions.
