06. Conflict and Racism: Creating inroads towards learning, healing, and transformation
What do the intersections of racism (and other axes of systemic oppression) and inter-personal conflict look like in the context of community work in Montreal? What does it look like from the perspective of individuals who experience these intersections? What does it look like at the scale of the organization?
This day-long workshop is based on the findings of the research of Conflit à l’oeuvre (CALO), a COCo-led community research and popular education project, funded by the Ministère d’éducation et enseignement supérieur (MEES). This workshop, a first prototype, will be delivered in two parts:
Leaning in through storytelling based on experiences of real people in the community sector that we will then attempt to deconstruct to: a) understand the various layers in which systemic oppression and conflict operate, and b) generate remedies and steps forward via anti-racist approaches.
Embedded in the half-day case study activity will be an opportunity to “dream” communities which accept the naturalness of conflict and strive to be accountable to dismantling legacies and behaviours stemming from systemic oppression. We extend this invitation to show you how our collective experiences and knowledge have coalesced into a rich narrative of struggle, healing, and transformative learning.

est une série de moments d’apprentissages pour les organisations soutenues par Centraide du Grand Montréal, un espace pour se rencontrer et apprendre les uns des autres.
Au cours de l’année à venir, ateliers/C souhaite créer des espaces de formation et de discussion, chaque fois sur un thème différent. Ces moments se veulent une opportunité de présenter de nouvelles idées, stratégies ou encore des outils inspirants… Et surtout d’offrir un espace pour se retrouver et partager des connaissances.
Ces moments sont offerts gratuitement au réseau des organisations financées par Centraide du Grand Montréal. Ateliers/C est un projet de Centraide du Grand Montréal réalisé en partenariat avec le Centre des Organismes Communautaires (COCo).
