Community of Practice events

Home / Community of Practice events

Community of Practice Events are designed to be highly interactive sessions of two and ½ hours, to foster an intimate environment in which participants feel secure to learn and explore a specific diversity and inclusion topic.

No matter your level of experience with diversity and inclusion, human rights, or human resources, CCDI Community of Practice Events will provide you with a unique learning experience.

In years past, these events have been presented in various communities across Canada. As you know all too well, we have had to move these events online until it is again prudent to host in-person events.

Summer 2021 theme: Safe and brave spaces

At this CCDI Community of Practice Event, we will be discussing the meaning of a frequently used but often misunderstood terminology: "safe space". We will also be diving deep into a new term being used more often "brave space".

Community of Practice Event sessions will allow attendees to explore how they can encourage employees and leaders to be authentic and feel psychologically safe and brave in the workplace.

We will also discuss how to bake a culture of safe and brave spaces into the work environment in a way that is truly sustainable.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Articulate what safe and brave spaces are, their origins and how they are different.
• Learn strategies to create safe and brave spaces within their organizations.
• Navigate courageous conversations within these spaces.
• Learn about other tools and resources to share to enhance learning about safe and brave spaces.
