Where are you and your school community on your
journey to inclusion via diversity, equity & anti-racism (I-DEA)?
Are you looking for practical tools, effective approaches, insights, collaboration, and guidance to expand your thinking around your I-DEA work?
We recognise that identifying where to start and how to take action can be challenging.
This workshop is here to support and guide you.
You’ll develop your awareness and understanding of both the blockers and the opportunities you may encounter as you strive to find the right entry point for this work in your community.
You’ll learn ways to activate conversations and practices that will help your school move towards equity and inclusion.
Explore these guiding questions:
What is your individual motivation and commitment to I-DEA and how does this show up in your practices?
How are you engaging with others to nurture and sustain diverse intrapersonal relationships that shape your institution’s learning culture?
How can fundamental understandings across the school help to accelerate I-DEA initiatives?
How can you design equitable learning ecosystems that bring historically marginalized identities to the forefront of decision-making?
Over three days you will connect with your peers from across the CIS community through keynotes, workshop sessions, live member connections, case studies, Q&As, and showcases that spotlight learning stories and resources.
