Resilience Against Racism: Rebuilding your cultural identity
About
One of the key ways to fight racism is to be proud of your own cultural heritage rather than rejecting it in order to “fit-in” to Australian society. Research suggested that having a positive cultural identity and strong sense of self is particularly helpful in combating race-related stress and stereotype threat.This workshop helps you reconnect with your cultural strengths, values and beliefs and reinforce pride in your cultural identity and thereby help you build confidence.
Note: This workshop is NOT suitable for those who are overwhelmed by racial incidents. It is recommended that if you are overwhelmed to first attend the workshop Racism: How to deal with my emotions.
Who are suitable for this workshop:
• people who have experienced racism
• direct witnesses to racism
• indirect witness to racism (e.g. hear incidents through friends or media)
• anyone else who are interested to rebuild a strong cultural identity
