Don't Pass it Down: Dismantling Intergenerational Prejudice
Presented By Rachel Mansell from The Mosaic Institute
Wednesday November 24th, 1-2:30pm
Session description:
We all grow up hearing things from our friends, our family, our community aimed against the ‘other.’ While othering is easy, it can easily lead to prejudicial judgements and often direct or indirect discrimination. In a world where the rhetoric is growingly divisive and hateful, we need to reflect on our behaviours towards our community members, those who are different, those who do not agree with us, those who we are at odds with. This workshop will engage participants in a critical dialogue about the intergenerational prejudices we might carry and ways to tackle them within ourselves and our families.
