Bridging across differences and creating inclusive spaces requires both inner and outer work. A clear understanding of self and cultural context helps manage your own biases and emotions while practicing conflict transformation tools can help bring intention into the spaces you inhabit and hold. This session will begin with the inner work - providing an anthropological framework to understand your cultural context and move through some reflective practices to dive deeper into the complexities of code-switching, multiculturalism and power dynamics. The second half of this session will focus on how to create more inclusive spaces - practicing conflict transformation tools and techniques that will help prepare your self and design spaces with intention.
