Building Anti-Racist and Equitable Organizations: A Training for Newcomer-Serving Organizations

This training aims to equip newcomer-serving organizations across Manitoba with resources and tools to create and implement Policies and Action Plans. This workshop will guide organizations in responding to Anti-Racism, Anti-discrimination, and Safety Clauses requirements and in monitoring and building accountability by providing best practices and examples.

This training is for leaders in the settlement sector and board members from newcomer service providers in Manitoba. It will provide an opportunity for leadership in the Newcomer Settlement Sector to enhance their anti-racist and anti-discriminatory lenses and examine accountability mechanisms at individual, institutional, and systemic levels. It addresses root causes and harms while creating barrier-free opportunities for equitable outcomes.

Workshop content will include:

• Developing adaptable anti-racism policy and action plans with measurable elements and practical examples.
• Strengthening organizational non-discrimination and safety practices through policy enhancement, sample policies, and accountability mechanisms at the individual, institutional, and systemic levels
• Fostering a culture of anti-racism, equity, and inclusivity with training recommendations and the sharing of best practices.

Expectation:
This webinar is a 2-hour session, delivered virtually via Zoom. Participants will receive a list of training recommendations, tools and resources.
