Anti-Racism

Is this course right for you?

This anti-racism workshop is designed to create a safe, honest space for participants to explore their own racial journey, understand how race shapes everyday interactions, and build the courage to have meaningful conversations about race. Through reflective activities, lived-experience discussions and practical tools, the workshop helps individuals and teams develop greater awareness, emotional intelligence and respectful understanding. The purpose is to move beyond fear or discomfort and equip participants with the skills, language and confidence to interrupt racial harm, create inclusive behaviours, and contribute to a more equitable and culturally safe workplace.

What you’ll explore

The course will:

• Explore the racial journey, identity, lived experience and how race shapes workplace interactions and communication
• Develop the courage and language to engage in respectful, emotionally intelligent conversations about race
• Help understand microaggressions, racial harm, impact versus intent and how racism can appear within workplace systems and culture

Outcomes

What participants will take away from this course:

• Recognise how race, identity and lived experience influence workplace relationships, communication and behaviour
• Respond more effectively to racialised comments, microaggressions and difficult conversations
• Apply emotionally intelligent and respectful communication strategies in race-based dialogue
• Identify inequitable workplace practices, behaviours and systemic barriers
• Develop practical anti-racist actions that support culturally safer and more inclusive workplace environments

Benefits to You and Your Organisation

By attending this course, participants and organisations will benefit from:

• Creating a psychologically safer and more culturally responsive workplace culture
• Strengthening communication, trust, team cohesion and respectful workplace relationships
• Supporting staff wellbeing, inclusion, belonging and retention across diverse teams
• Building practical confidence and capability to respond to racism, bias and workplace harm appropriately

Delivered as an interactive, facilitated experience because anti-racism work cannot be effectively achieved through passive desktop learning alone. The complexity, emotional impact and relational nature of racism require reflective discussion, shared dialogue, lived-experience exploration and psychologically safe human engagement to create meaningful learning and behavioural change.
