Cultivating Space: Women of Colour Leadership

This set of two 2-day in person workshops and a 1-day online workshop (5 days total) is for HEU members who are women of colour (Indigenous, Black or racialized) interested in union leadership.

There are many barriers faced by women in leadership or seeking leadership roles in unions and communities. This online workshop will encourage members to reflect, learn and take action.

Workshop topics include:

• Creating space for personal reflections, hope and sense of belonging
• Understanding our multi-faceted and layered identity
• Exploring our whole selves and our lived experience in social and systemic structures
• Challenging existing power structures
• Growing our strengths, capacity, skills, solidarity and collective power
