Cultural Perspectives Series – Dispelling Myths and Stereotypes

This workshop is a part of the Indigenous Perspective Workshop Series:

• Workshop One: Introduction to Cultural Competency
• Workshop Two: Understanding History
• Workshop Four: Building Local Relationships

This three-hour workshop introduces participants to the key concepts of colonization, privilege and stereotyping. While encouraging meaningful relationship-building strategies with Indigenous community members and organizations, the learning is applicable to many areas in our professional and personal lives.

In order to create a space that fosters conversation, interaction and reflection we will be limiting the workshop to 35 participants. 

Please note these sessions will not be recorded. If you register and then are unable to attend, please let us know so that we can open up space for other participants. 

Once you register for a workshop, BCNPHA will share your email and name with IPS who will then contact you with a session link and learning resources. 

What you will learn:

• Introduction to the key concepts of colonization, privilege and stereotyping
•  Reflect on how privilege and stereotypes impact our work and relationships
• Strengthen collaborative working relationships with Indigenous communities
• Understand how anti-oppressive, decolonizing ideologies and methods may be
  applied to our work and daily life
