Facilitating Safer, Braver and Inclusive Virtual Spaces (webinar recording)

Have you been attending or organizing more virtual meetings since the pandemic? Are you interested in strategies to design online gatherings that can foster dialogue and change?

In this webinar, you'll explore examples, tips, and ideas for how to co-create virtual spaces that are safer, braver, and more inclusive:

• The concept of Indigenous cultural safety and how it can be broadly utilized to better understand our shared colonial history
• The meaningful involvement of Indigenous peoples in virtual spaces
• How to avoid tokenization and steer towards inclusive conversations in your work, including the development of policies to address anti-Indigenous racism within nonprofit organizations.
