SUMMARY:Building Unity During the Pandemic: Addressing Xenophobic Attitudes and Behaviours
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by: SIETAR BC  in partnership with BCCIE \nSponsored by:  Vancouver Island University     \nPlatform: GoToWebinar\nCost: Free\n \nThis webinar will provide a venue to discuss strategies for dealing with xenophobic attitudes and behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic\, particularly towards ethnic cohorts present throughout Canadian society\, including international students\, immigrants\, or visitors to Canada. This webinar will offer strategies to those who are targeted\, bystanders\, and those who support and work with them including instructors\, student support teams\, community and integration support workers\, health care professionals and friends and family. \nObjective of this webinar\nTo open up a discussion about how we can build unity through effectively addressing racist attitudes and behaviour as well as how we can best support those targeted. Participants will learn strategies to effectively respond to xenophobic situations from the perspective of the person who is targeted\, as a bystander\, or as an educator. Participants will receive a downloadable worksheet to support their learning.\n \nBackground\nA recent survey conducted by the Canadian Bureau for International Education reports “increased racial prejudices on campus [and] in local communities” following the onset of COVID-19. The pandemic also tends to have a disproportionate impact on the most marginalized people in our communities\, not only from a health perspective\, but from one of societal perception. Not only has it led to illness and mortality\, it has had a significant impact on the health\, well-being\, and sense of belonging for the multitudes directly and indirectly affected.\n \nPresenters\nJessie Sutherland  \nJessie Sutherland\, M.A in Dispute Resolution\, is an International Speaker and Trainer\, Director of Intercultural Strategies\, and founder and innovator of the award-winning “Belonging Matters” dialogue and capacity building program. Jessie is also the author of the best-selling bookWorldview Skills: Transforming Conflict from the Inside Out. Intercultural Strategies offers speaking\, training and strategic consulting packages for organizations working with diverse communities on engaging diversity\, building a culture of belonging\, and fostering intercultural collaboration. Jessie is currently working as the lead consultant on a number of projects. \nQueenie Choo\nBeing a strong advocate for others is a thread that has continued throughout Queenie Choo’s career. She is the CEO of S.U.C.C.E.S.S.\, now the largest non-profit social service organization in Canada\, which provides settlement services to new immigrants through 30 locations in BC\, and pre-arrival services overseas.
