Cultural humility and anti-racist practice

Consider what anti-racist practice means in the context of professional identities and organisations.

Cultural humility is a stance that attempts to understand peoples’ identities in relation to race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, class and socioeconomic status, education, and social needs.

This workshop will support participants to consider what cultural humility and anti-racist practice means to them in the context of their professional identities and organisations.

Through the engagement of critical thinking and open dialogue, participants will work towards being more attuned to addressing racism, marginalisation and exclusion on the personal, team and organisational level.

Designed for

All professionals working in public and voluntary services to support adults, children and/or families
