Tackling Racism
As discussion about racism in Australia and the need to address it has become more apparent, more businesses are beginning to recognise their responsibility to create cultural change in their workplaces.
Tackling Racism is designed for workplaces to educate staff on anti-racism strategies. This interactive workshop explores interpersonal racism while delving deep into workplace dynamics and the impact of institutional racism.
The program provides participants with the terminology and tools to understand the ripple effects of behaviours that in isolation, seem harmless. It uses forum theatre techniques to invite the audience to support characters as they deal with the problems of racism and allows them to collectively find solutions that are relevant in their workplace.
Venue A quiet, private space with a flat floor. Enough room to set up a chair for each participant and arrange them in a circle.
Technical Access to a projector and a whiteboard. For larger groups, microphones may be necessary.
Access The ActNow Theatre team will discuss access requirements with the booking organisation to meet participant access needs as required.
Duration
210 minutes
Capacity
20 to 80 people at one time
“It made me think long and hard, for days after about what I could have done better, and I am confident I will step in if I see racism especially in the workplace”
“I’ve learned that most of us have some unconscious bias that we need to unpack and dismantle, on both a personal level, right up to a structural level.”
“this was such a powerful workshop, and I’m quietly hopeful we will see meaningful change in our organisation.””
