Ethnocultural Communities Sessions on Anti-Racism and Cultural Norms: As part of our commitment to promoting diversity inclusion and social justice we will be organizing sessions focusing on anti-racism and cultural norms within ethnocultural communities. These sessions will provide a platform for open dialogue education and awareness-building around issues of racism discrimination and cultural diversity. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about different cultural perspectives challenge stereotypes and explore strategies for promoting inclusivity and understanding within their communities.
