DuB �� UE �` , Mn,h'r��ie'te'e�i fhe ivtidtissippi The City of Dubuque's team of Intercultural Facilitators offers two learning and development workshops for City employees and partner organizations: • A 10.5 hour foundations workshop that is designed for individual development and focuses on raising awareness, fostering improved understanding, and providing tools that can be used to build individual skill at navigating differences. • A 32 hour application workshop that is designed for teams who are interested in developing a plan for advancing equity and inclusion goals within their team or organization. Both workshops are grounded in an intercultural approach that is evidence informed and developmental. It is important to understand what our training is and is not: • First, the intercultural approach acknowledges race and racial issues but does not limit its focus to these issues. Rather, the focus is on culture as a broad concept that encompasses all people, and on the various aspects of cultural and social identities that may make a difference when we are interacting with one another. • Second, the goal is not to change beliefs or belief systems. The goal is to build skills so that people are effective interacting across cultural differences. • Third, the focus is on a broad set of skills that can be applied across cultures to improve communication and understanding. The training does not focus on culture specific details and information. • Fourth, although training employees can be a very productive tool, depending solely on training to foster acceptance and the skills needed to make sustainable change is severely limited. There must be sustainable efforts to support staff in applying newly acquired skills. We don't expect to be competent in a sport after a few practice sessions, similarly we cannot expect to be competent working with cultures other than our own after a few workshops. • Finally, there is a recognition that any skills learned must be applied in context, and that training is only one piece of a larger approach that includes assigning resources and developing a long-term strategy to identify barriers affecting certain groups and to create an inclusive and equitable work environment. 10.5 Hour Workshop: Intercultural Competence and Equity Objectives of the workshop are to: • Establish a common language and understanding regarding an intercultural approach to equity and inclusion • Reinforce the importance of continuing to develop the skills needed to work and live in a culturally diverse community 19 'ri rn cin'nr. . . . DuB �� UE �` , Mn.ler��ic�crc�i Rir ivtidti,sippi • Understand how we process diversity related information to form perceptions about ourselves and others • Examine some of the foundations of culture • Examine personal identity and its relationship to culture • Examine how language, non-verbal communication, and values can interfere with communication • Begin to unpack inclusion and equity issues in individual organizations using an intercultural approach • Understand employee roles in contributing towards an inclusive organizational culture 32-Hour Developing Equity Frameworks through Intercultural Methods This workshop is best suited for those working on teams seeking to advance equity and inclusion. Participants will use an intercultural framework to collectively explore individual, institutional, and systemic opportunities. The program includes opportunities for participants to practice using the tools they have received, working together to identify dilemmas facing their organizations, to develop strategies for addressing issues, and to create action items. Objectives for the four-day program are to: • Understand fundamental concepts related to an intercultural approach to inclusion and equity using individual, institutional, and structural levels • Learn tools and skills that can be applied to influence organizational change • Recognize inclusion and equity issues to advance action plans to stabilize equity and inclusion in the organization • Identify equity needs of your community through your organization's lens and set goals to influence a positive impact in the community • Identify inclusion and equity issues and begin to develop an action plan to advance equity and inclusion in participant organizations or groups • Create an all-encompassing environment based on trust for: o Effective team building o Healthy workforce culture o Active strategic planning 20
