In-person workshop.
All MSUE employees regardless of funding source or appointment are expected to attend this cornerstone multicultural workshop which sets an organizational framework and language for recognizing, understanding, and appreciating differences. During this two-day Multicultural Self-Awareness Workshop, participants will explore ways in which to view interactions with people different from themselves. The emphasis is on differences rather than similarities. The workshop focuses on the individual and helps explore belief systems about multiculturalism to identify feelings and values from a multicultural perspective. This intensive learning experience focuses on increasing awareness of several areas of prejudice, discrimination, and oppression, including racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism, and ableism. Participants are encouraged to reflect on how they've learned to think about human differences and on the widespread tendency to view differences within a mono-cultural view of "better than/less than" thinking. In addition, participants have opportunities to apply what they're learning to work-related scenarios and explore alternative, more helpful behaviors. We will also take time to explore the MSU Extension DEI dedication statements and how they can assist us in our work.
Due to the nature of the workshop, you are asked to participate fully without phone calls, meetings and other interruptions which impacts the learning experience for all.
