Speak Up! Community Building with Respect

Offered by Equity and Inclusion

Interested to learn how to build an inclusive and respectful working environment? Curious about what to say when somebody makes an inappropriate comment? Want to know how to handle situations that are embarrassing at work? Building these skills can help ensure you are active in your work environment to be  supportive and inclusive. In this workshop, attendees will learn about what makes a respectful community at UBC. Participants will have the opportunity to learn to use inclusive language, how to interrupt practices that are problematic, and how to respond respectfully to being "called out" or told what’s been said or done is offensive. All of these skills are important for fostering a respectful inclusive community.

This workshop is ideal for UBC members who want to enhance their work, study, and living communities.
