Brock University faculty and staff took part in the first in a series of workshops on intercultural awareness on Friday, July 20. The workshops focus on providing the Brock community with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to contribute to respectful and productive relationships on and off campus. During the first workshop, participants learned how to identify elements of visible and invisible culture, list elements of their own cultural identity and identify at least one inclusive practice that they can use in their work or life on campus. The series is a pre-requisite to all other course requirements through Focus on Learning that will comprise the Intercultural Certificate for faculty and staff, debuting in September. The next workshop, focusing on Unconscious Bias Awareness, takes place Monday, July 30 from 2 to 4 p.m. Registration is required and space is limited to 30 people. To register, visit the Focus on Learning webpage, under the Training and Development section of Brock’s Human Resources website. Any questions can be directed to McLennon at x6211 or by email at tmclennon@brocku.ca.
