tânisi! Hello!
As the 2023 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation draws near, I thought I would take stock of the milestones I have met along my journey of learning, reflection, and action. For example, last fall, I completed a course offered by First Nations University of Canada called the 4 Seasons of Reconciliation.
Listen to the article:
I live and work in a society that is composed of Indigenous people and descendants of immigrants and settlers. The descendants of immigrants and settlers make up most of the population. Within this sector of the population, the dominant majority are of European heritage. There also minorities from many different ethnic and racial backgrounds. I am a relatively recent arrival, myself, from South-East Asia, having only a few decades under my belt, so to speak. Based on my last name, appearance, and national origin, one might assume that I belong to one of the Asian minorities or a distinct Asian community.
However, that assumption would be inaccurate.
The Intercultural Sharing Circle by Sights on Success Consulting is an opportunity for professionals from the community to gather and learn from each other’s cultural perspective. As usual, specific questions on the topic were posed to the participants during the session on May 3rd, such as: “What is your cultural identity and current social status? What systems enable you to enjoy and maintain your social status? What strategies can you use to foster diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility at your workplace and help less advantaged individuals and groups?”
How would you and your team respond to these questions? Here are some personal insights shared by the host to deepen understanding about cultural commonalities and differences and build community through intercultural competence development.
