Workshop Wednesdays: Culture Box – Online Event
Date & Time
March 9, 2022, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Description
Workshop Wednesdays w/ i3b are monthly opportunities for faculty, staff, graduate students and adult learners to engage around social justice topics that can support their personal growth and professional development. All sessions are interactive, and designed for skill-building and practice.
Session Focus: Culture Box-We all have cultural identities and cultural experiences. Creating opportunities to explore these identities and experiences are pivotal for building belonging across the Division. This session will use the Culture Box activity to explore cultural connections, experiences, and identities. This session will be deeply interactive and involve cultural storytelling and generous listening. In addition to practicing skills of cultural storytelling and deep listening, participants will have the opportunity to think deeply about their own cultural identities and how they impact our work across the Division. This is a non-traditional staff development that is focused on sharing and relationship building. Finally, participants will be introduced to the Culture Box activity as a tool to use in staff meetings, staff retreats and other interactions to build community, break down stereotypes, and practice dialogue skills.
Presented by the soon to be Dr. Ciara Christian & IDEAList, Angelica Mansfield
