April is Celebrate Diversity Month! Your Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) committee has helped produce a series of VFPO EDI canvas courses that are now available to everyone.
Each course takes about 45 minutes to complete. The courses will help raise awareness on some challenging topics as well offer time for self-reflection and growth. To access the course please log onto UBC’s workplace learning at https://wpl.ubc.ca/ and register for the following courses:
- VPFO EDI Journey Part 1: Foundations in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
- VPFO EDI Journey Part 2: Power & Privilege
- VPFO EDI Journey Part 3: Stereotypes, Prejudice & Discrimination
- VPFO EDI Journey Part 4: Introduction to Anti-Racism
- VPFO EDI Journey Part 5: Systemic Racism
- VPFO EDI Journey Part 6: Stories of Resilience and Resistance
The VPFO would like to acknowledge and thank the VPFO EDI committee for its contribution to our community over the last year.
In celebration of Diversity Month, please also enjoy this TEDx from Emmaly Badgett. Emmaly shares her experiences growing up as a minority in a largely homogeneous school. She encourages listeners to appreciate and celebrate diversity.
