Racial Literacy & Microaggression Training - For Workplaces

Our racial literacy and micro-aggression training is designed to be interactive, thought provoking and accessible to all. This half-day training is a great step toward breaking down barriers between
colleagues of different cultures, ethnicities, beliefs and lifestyles – fostering a culture of free
respectful dialogue and encouraging cross-cultural harmony in the workplace. 

This training covers key terminology and why we use it aswell as exploring common
microaggressions and how to be a positive upstander. The training is split into 3 main sections:

Part 1 – Developing Understanding:

• Common Limitations when talking about race & how to break those down.
• Setting the tone for the workshop.
• Important terminology (both positive and negative) and why we choose some over others.
• Develop understanding of ‘racism’ and its 3 levels & how these present in society. 

• Exploring Microaggressions & Early signs of racism with the workplace & society.
• An interactive workshop in smaller groups.
• Exploring bystander/upstander
  interventions and the pros and cons of
  public versus private interventions.

Part 3 – Discussions & Peer-led Learning:

• Sharing from each small group about their
  activity and findings – to facilitate peer-led
  learnings and having deeper discussions.
