Building the foundational principles for racial literacy in the workplace.
The Australian workforce today includes individuals from diverse racial backgrounds. Yet Australian society has not equipped many of us with the racial literacy and skills we need to talk about race in an informed and meaningful way, let alone – allow us to identify and respond to racism.
This fundamentals program introduces participants to the key and central concepts required for any meaningful conversations about racism at work. This suggested pre-requisite program defines key concepts, outlines the building blocks to understanding racism, and starts the conversation about what we need to do, learn and be to become anti-racist.
This program is essential for any organisation that wishes to understand and address racism at work.
It is recommended that this program be followed by DCA’s Understanding Anti-Racism at Work training.
This is a 2-hour program, delivered virtually or in person.
