“Accepting the Challenge for Diversity, Cultural Awareness and Inclusion”

September 6th, 9-4:30pm

Dr. Stephen Wilson and Dr. Marian Harris

Organized by NASW-WA

 

Workshop description:

“Social workers provide treatment to clients who are different in culture, race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, political belief, religion, and mental or physical challenges. As professionals with authority and power, social workers have enormous influence on client’s choices and values. Therefore, it is the professional responsibility of social workers to have the knowledge and skill to identify and include any facet of diversity in assessment and treatment of each client. This interactive session will provide a framework to discuss and understand the significance of diversity, cultural awareness, and inclusion in social work practice. Participants will have an opportunity via a systemic approach to understanding racial inequity as a precursor to break down the different types of diversity elements, inherent and acquired and to understand why it is contrary to the NASW Code of Ethics to engage in social work practice without having cultural awareness. There is an opportunity for participants to broaden their knowledge base and enhance practice skills in managing their biases and monitor how they show up in practice and interaction with clients as well as colleagues. A systemic approach is provided as a frame for discussing and supporting exploration, analysis and gathering wisdom in ways that are communal and collaborative. The presenters will utilize examples from their own research and clinical practice, a video, and experiential activities to encourage dialogue throughout the session. Participants will be strongly encouraged to share examples from their clinical practice. A framework will be provided for discussion about diversity, cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity, and inclusion for social work practice with clients who are oppressed and struggling to survive in today’s hostile environment/climate.”

I would like to follow up on my previous email inviting your University’s students and graduates to the United Nations Conference Centre to the capital city of the second largest economy in Southeast Asia, Bangkok, for the 2019 International Diplomacy Forum, to be held July 10-12.

Designed to recognise, develop and enhance the next generation of global leaders, the inaugural Forum, held in to the capital city of the second largest economy in Southeast Asia, will comprise of interactive workshops, solution-based discussions, negotiation exercises, career advice and networking. Delivered by respected Ambassadors, MPs, Government Officials, Media and World Leading Diplomacy Experts, delegates will gain fundamental skills, insights and connections, essential for their roles as social justice advocates, within their future careers concerning sustainable and inclusive international relations and partnerships. The respected Forum provides dedicated individuals with an experience that differentiates them from the population of emerging graduates, whilst simultaneously providing a global opportunity to engage with the International Diplomatic Community.

To enable your faculty to easily distribute this opportunity to your student/graduate population, I have linked a short blurb here (easily copied and pasted), used by our other partnered universities via email, announcements and various student/graduate platforms. For more information about the International Diplomacy Forum 2019, registration fees and themes to be discussed, please find our e-Brochure linked here, or visit our website www.internationaldiplomacyforum.org.

In April 2018, The Ash Centre for Democratic Governance and Innovation, a leading research centre housed at Harvard Kennedy School, announced the appointment of Professor Mahbubani as a Senior Visiting Scholar. Professor Mahbubani also serves in many Boards and Councils of institutions around the world, including the Yale President’s Council and World Economic Forum. Most recently, he was selected by Prospect magazine as one of the top 50 world thinkers.

Applicants can either be nominated by faculty members to represent your University, or apply independently by submitting their CV to our Global Partnership Associate, Ms. Claire Emery at claire.emery@humanitarianaffairs.org.
