I, We, and Community: Advancing Equity and Inclusion through Individual, Interpersonal, and Collaborative Action*
Inspired by the theme of this conference: Step In, Reach Out, and Lift Up, this workshop uses a series of real-world examples to help participants understand how they can take direct action to drive meaningful advances for equity and inclusion at the individual, interpersonal, and community/systemic levels. By exploring this multi-level approach that starts internally and builds to community-level impact, participants will explore different strategies to empower themselves, amplify and support others, and champion systemic change.
