Understanding Cultural Humility

Description

This workshop is for individuals who are curious and commited to continuing their Race Equity Culture building journey beyond the process of cultural competency by moving towards the expansive personal journey of adopting cultural humility as a mindset.

This workshop explores the conceptual practice of building cultural humility which is challenging biases and prejudices based on demographics of other and one's own group and assessing culture as a constantly growing concept and lens.

PRICING

Equity In The Center® is now using a tiered pricing model to better align with best practices among equity-focused organizations.

We ask that organizations purchasing tickets on behalf of their staff purchase tickets in the tier that aligns with your organizational budget and sector. And for individuals, we ask that people with greater privilege purchase tickets at the higher end, which will allow individuals with historically less access to wealth, disproportionately BIPOC folks, to pay the lower fees. EIC's new tiered budget categories are based on Rockwood Leadership Institute's pricing model.

Partial scholarships are available.
