Working to create inclusive spaces, organizations and communities will challenge us to act on our commitment to recognize and celebrate diversity. As Canadians, we strive to accept and appreciate qualities that make everybody unique—but have we really embraced diversity and are our communities and organizations truly inclusive in their practices? This course will provide you with the specific knowledge you will need to develop a personal competency framework and will involve critical discussions addressing issues of social justice and human rights with regards to diversity and inclusion.
