Microaggressions, what are we talking about?
Microaggressions, what are we talking about?
This workshop offers an in-depth exploration of microaggressions, their definition, and the significant impact they can have on individuals and teams over time.
Participants will learn to recognize the subtle ways in which microaggressions manifest in everyday interactions, and the cumulative effects they have on workplace morale, mental health, and team cohesion. We will engage in reflective activities and discussions to highlight how these seemingly minor comments or actions can perpetuate exclusion and bias.
The workshop will also provide concrete, actionable steps for addressing microaggressions in various scenarios. Whether you are a bystander witnessing a microaggression or someone directly affected by one, you’ll practice responding in ways that promote learning, empathy, and inclusivity. Role-playing exercises and group feedback will give participants the opportunity to develop confidence in handling these situations in a constructive and respectful manner.
By the end of this workshop, you will leave empowered with practical tools to help build a more inclusive workplace by addressing microaggressions with empathy, respect, and a commitment to positive change.
