The INTO is proud to present the following webinar series on the topic of Fostering Inclusion:
22 January 2025: Anti-bias, Anti-racism and Storytelling – facilitated by Briana Fitzsimons
This webinar will introduce the concepts of Anti-bias and Anti-racism (ABAR) from the perspective of centering the very human needs for belonging and inclusion with a focus on empathy building by sharing stories and engaging in reflective interactions. The facilitator creates a safe space for participants to engage in uncomfortable conversations, reflect on their own bias, and ultimately broaden their understanding of how bias and racism inform our interpersonal connections and societal systems and the impact this has on our education spaces and curricular choices.
