Virtual Training Event March 29, 2023.
We look forward to seeing you in this virtual training, which will engage approaches to incorporating decolonization ethics into our everyday practice in nonprofit and community-based work.
There will be two featured sessions on March 29th, each focusing on strengthening our approaches to standing against colonialism in our work. These discussions will offer essential insights and skills for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants, and we highly encourage all to join. These talks will offer time for community connection and discussion, and be paced for balancing your work day: we’ll start at 9 AM and finish by 11:45 AM Pacific time.
Unlike past KnowledgeConnect offerings, this virtual training will not be made publicly available via recorded format, so please be sure to attend on March 29th if possible.
