Towards A More Decolonial, Anti-Racist and Feminist Public Engagement
This two-part series on public engagement brought to you by the Inter-Council Network examines current practices in public engagement and explores alternative practices for more decolonial, anti-racist and feminist approaches in public engagement.
The first session (September 21, 1:00 PM Atlantic) will feature ICN research participants who will reflect on the research process and share findings and recommendations from the research.
The second session (September 23, 1:00 PM Atlantic), a forward-looking discussion on better practices in public engagement, will feature sector members that use decolonial, anti-racist and feminist approaches in public engagement who will share lessons from their experiences.
Join us as we host a webinar on to share findings and recommendations from ICN’s research exploring decolonial, anti-racist and feminist approaches in public engagement. This webinar is informed by a six-month long research process involving activists, youth leaders, community advocates, and feminist organizers from Canada, Botswana, Kenya, Ecuador, Haiti, the DRC, Peru, Spain, Bolivia and the Dominican Republic. We will reflect on the research process highlighting the benefits of participatory methods in knowledge creation and share key findings from the research. To inform our collective efforts to be more decolonial, anti-racist and feminist in our public engagement work, we will also discuss some recommendations for practice and policy.
With this forward thinking, call-to-action webinar, we will convene diverse sector members who are leading the way in their use of decolonial, anti-racist and feminist approaches in their public engagement work. Discussing what works, what doesn’t and what their learning have been, they’ll provide insights on chartering alternative pathways to better practices in public engagement. Join us to explore more decolonial, anti-racist and feminist approaches to public engagement, with a focus on strategies that can inform transformative change in public engagement and the international cooperation sector.
