It will focus on educating and strengthening communities, and will foster impactful dialogue that empowers people towards action.
This event will honour two important days in our mutual goal of dismantling prejudice – International Women’s Day recognized on March 8, and International Day for the Elimination of Racism and Discrimination on March 21. In recognition of these important international days, we are bringing together a diverse panel of experts with lived experience to discuss the following themes:
- The impact of current events on people with diverse gender and racial identities
- The lived experiences of people with diverse gender and racial identities, and how they intersect
- How to #BreakTheBias and create an environment where we can all thrive
This 1.5-hour event is planned as a lunch-and-learn event. There will be ample time for audience Q&A.
