SUMMARY:Dismantling Hate: A Journey Toward Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:This in-person gathering serves not only as a reflection on the persistent challenges of hate and discrimination but also as a catalyst for meaningful\, collective action. Through shared stories\, expert insights\, and collaborative discussions\, participants will deepen their knowledge and walk away with practical strategies to champion inclusivity in their spheres of influence. \nThis gathering also continues the commemoration of the conclusion of the International Decade for People of African Descent\, which has been guided by three key pillars—recognition\, justice\, and development—in addressing systemic barriers faced by people of African descent worldwide. In addition\, the event commemorates Black History Month. \nIn the Canadian context\, heightened awareness and actions against anti-Black racism have marked this period\, reflecting an urgency to recognize and dismantle racial inequalities\, while celebrating the resilience and achievements of African-descended communities. As we gather in person\, we will spotlight key areas of progress and continuing focus\, including: \n\nImproving Black representation in leadership and policymaking.\nImproving the wellbeing of community members of all descent.\nAddressing hate crimes and systemic discrimination within education\, employment\, and the criminal justice system\n\n  \nRegister here: DISMANTLING HATE: A JOURNEY TOWARDS INCLUSION Tickets\, Wed\, Feb 26\, 2025 at 12:00 PM | Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Workshop: Incorporating Art in the Work with Children – Expressive Arts Therapy to Support Neurodivergent Newcomer Children
DESCRIPTION:Expressive arts therapy has shown benefits for children across various developmental stages\, as well as neurodiverse children who may struggle with traditional classroom settings and communication barriers. It allows for self-expression without the need for words\, reduces overstimulation\, and soothes the nervous systems\, encourages creativity and collaboration\, and provides a calming and structured activity that empowers children to utilize their creativity and build on their strengths. \nThis workshop will examine the advantages of expressive arts therapy that can be applied to newcomer children from early years to school age\, who face unique challenges due to the complex emotions that may arise during their journey of settling into a new community or school. It will be an opportunity for those who work with newcomer children in the settlement sector to learn about how incorporating art and concepts of expressive arts therapy can support their work. \nAs there will be experiential pieces in this workshop\, we invite you to prepare the following basic art materials if you wish to participate in the activities:\n• Paper for writing or a journal\n• Pens/pencils for writing\n• Basic art materials (paper\, pastels\, markers\, pencil crayons) \n  \nTo register\, click here
