ABSTRACT

The JALT DEI Committee strives to make JALT a more inclusive organization and to empower members with the knowledge, tools, and opportunities to foster awareness, build empathy, and spark meaningful conversations. This hybrid workshop welcomes both newcomers and those familiar with DEI concepts. It will begin with a brief meditation session, followed by a concise review of key DEI-related terms. Through an interactive session, the participants will explore different perspectives and practice strategies for addressing microaggressions in the workplace. Whether attending in person or online, participants will gain valuable insights, engage in meaningful discussions, and access useful DEI-related resources. Bring your friends and send your SIG representatives, officers, and chairs to join us for this engaging and interactive workshop!
