CCI General Workshops

Allyship 101 
This workshop will help participants explore what it means to be an ally both in word and in action.

Circles of My Multicultural Self 
In this interactive workshop, participants will have the opportunity to better understand their multicultural selves and the multicultural identities of others. Stereotypes are discussed and dismantled through statements that heal and empower us.

Cross the Line
This interactive, activity-based workshop focuses on the personal experiences of participants and examines how our trials and tribulations shape the people we are today. Empathy, connectedness and healing are at the core of this introspective workshop experience.

Off the Wall – A Workshop on Microaggressions
Microaggressions have been defined as brief everyday exchanges, often unintentional and automatic, that send negative messages to individuals because of their group/identity membership (i.e. due to race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, etc.). Participants of this session will examine different phrases to better understand their harm and identify ways to confront these microaggressions so that we create a more inclusive campus environment.
