Indigenous Vision welcomes the public to join us in a community dialogue on Cultural Humility and the principle of advocating and maintaining institutional accountability. This dialogue is the third and final of a 3-part series dedicated to covering the principles of Cultural Humility for the community.
The Cultural Humility model provides a method to build trustful partnerships with individuals, families, and communities by creating a safe and positive place for us to learn from one another in group dialogue on issues surrounding identity, culture, race, power and privilege, and more. The model replaces the insufficient notion of “cultural competence” with a cyclical approach that embraces critical self-reflection as a lifelong learning process to create a broader, more inclusive view of the world.
Space is limited, please register today!

Activities include highly interactive exercises and facilitated dialogue among the participants.
Outline:
- Cultural Humility: origin, principles, and practices
- Focus on dialogue among the participants on the application of the Cultural Humility principles in their work.
- Common language: identity, culture, race, isms, power and privilege, microaggression, intersectionality, color, sex, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, nationality.
- Summarize what is useful for your work
- Group dialogue and evaluation
Overall learning objectives:
- Participants can state the potential influence of power, privilege, the-isms, and their own history and relationship with clients and colleagues.
- Participants can identify personal beliefs and values and how these factors influence their own behaviors when working with clients and colleagues.
- Participants can use tools to practice the Cultural Humility principle of “client as the expert” when serving individuals and communities.
- Participants practice respectful and curious inquiry about individual and community points of view, values, and life experiences, holding the stance of “listen as if the speaker is wise”.
- Participants practice strategies to redress power dynamics from negatively influencing or obstructing the content of service delivery.
- Participants integrate strategies into organizational structures, policies, and activities.
Participants will receive a 3-hour Certificate of Participation.
