Cultural Diversity Week - Unconscious Bias Training

Celebrate Diversity and challenge your perspectives during Cultural Diversity Week (18-24 March) – Victoria’s largest multicultural celebration!

The workshops aim to enhance our understanding and awareness of Unconscious Bias and its impact on individuals and the community. Through a range of interactive discussions, case studies and self-reflections, the session will focus on drawing on people’s personal values, stories, and experiences to gain a more in-depth understanding of what bias means and how it manifests itself in our everyday interactions with others in the community.

The workshops will focus on challenging some of the pre-conceived ideas that people may have about unconscious bias and will invite the participants to reflect on their own blind spots, biases and practices. 

The workshops will cover the following key points:

• Understanding own journey to understand and value others
•What unconscious bias is and how it happens
•How is bias formed and how it creeps into our actions and thoughts
•Stereo typing and how to consciously refrain from it
•Understanding intersectionality- people are not one dimensional
•Value of understanding people’s stories
•Relationship between privilege and bias
•Practical tools and strategies to keep bias at bay
