NEW: Reconciliation and community building

Clint Kuzio      18 Mar 2021      webinar      CHF BC event

This workshop will focus on community building between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.

6 to 8 p.m.

Despite the fact that we all have more in common with one another than differences, conflict is inevitable. Given the continued colonial conflict between Canada and Indigenous Peoples, the relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people can be equally strained. In this workshop we will acknowledge the conflict and develop the tools required to build a relationship based on respect, honesty, and humility.

This workshop is open to all and will be focused on the skills of trust-building, active listening, and respectful communication.

All webinars are $35/person or $200 for seven registrations from one co-op.

Non-member rate $50 per person.
