This first instalment in Sparking the Collective calls us to action through deep collaboration. Grounded in the belief that everyone has a vital role in transforming systems, participants will engage in knowledge sharing, dialogue, and critical reflection that transcends singular expertise.
Transdisciplinary approaches to DEIA create bridges between practices, knowledge, and lived experiences to generate new insights and sustain initiatives. By learning how to apply these approaches, participants will strengthen their ability to address polarization, misinformation, binaries, and bias.
All virtual sessions 1–4 are available on the CCDI events calendar.
