Lewiston City Library
411 D St, Lewiston, ID
2nd Floor Meeting Room
In a diverse and changing culture, it can be challenging to imagine a community that is inclusive and welcoming for all. This workshop is designed to help participants engage biases and recognize how biases create both real and perceived barriers to welcoming all people to our libraries. Through the use of experiential exercises and facilitated discussion and reflection, we will cover foundational concepts of race, ethnicity, cultural diversity and identity, and critical information about culture and bias which will allow you to better integrate inclusive practices into the library and library programs.
Participants will:
- Learn basic concepts related to race, ethnicity, cultural diversity and identity.
- Understand the concept of identity development.
- Practice partnering with others to create inclusive and welcoming communities.
Presenter:
