Storytelling and active unlearning as a means of navigating our experiences

Stories have been argued to be windows into people’s lived experiences. It is also a way in which stereotypes and prejudices are transferred across time and space and also from person to person. The session examines the types of stories we tell and how we can navigate narrow views on race and racism in our practice and workplace. The session will provide attendees with an understanding about how to unlearn the beliefs and ideas that inform our actions. We will also look at the debiasing process. Group sessions will explore the kind of stories that maintain stereotypes in the workplace, transformational communication and racism stoppers.
