During this workshop we will build a shared understanding of foundational brain science and EDI concepts\, and consider key frameworks\, research\, and application tools that help bridge the gap between these two topics. Through thought-provoking discussion and small group work\, we will deepen our awareness of how EDI and brain science are intertwined and relevant to the EDI journey at all levels—personal\, organizational\, and systemic. \nThis session will explore these key topics: \n\nHow brain architecture influences unconscious biases\nThe areas of our nervous system that are activated when we discuss\, experience\, or perpetrate racism\nHow brain-aware perspectives can lead to increased cultural humility\nHow we can advance EDI in our organizations’ cultures via brain-friendly strategies\nHow power affects empathy\nThe mindsets and practices in our sector need to be shifted so that we can accelerate healing and growth in ourselves\, our workforce\, and our communities\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe key concepts related to basic brain architecture and development\nIdentify foundational components of systemic racism and how they are embedded throughout our sector and workplace cultures\nAnalyze how brain science and EDI intersect across the continuum of the EDI journey—personal\, organizational\, and systemic\nConsider how to apply brain-science infused EDI tools\, concepts\, and practices into daily work environment\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n Presenters\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Undraye Howard\n \n Vice President of Equity\, Diversity\, Inclusion\, and Engagement\nSocial Current \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Romero Davis\n \n Senior Program Manager\nSocial Current \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Karen Johnson\n \n Senior Director of Change in Mind\nSocial Current URL:https://www.social-current.org/event/hardwired-for-fear-hardwired-for-connection-the-intersection-of-brain-science-and-edi/ LOCATION:Hyatt Regency Bethesda\, One Bethesda Metro Center\, 7400 Wisconsin Ave.\, Bethesda\, Maryland\, 20814 CATEGORIES:Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.social-current.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/SPARK_Pre_Conference_EDI-e1683913281220.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231018T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231018T173000 DTSTAMP:20260430T011616 CREATED:20230706T195858Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230919T140611Z UID:10000317-1697617800-1697650200@www.social-current.org SUMMARY:SPARK 2023: Igniting Advocacy Hill Day DESCRIPTION:Registration for Igniting Advocacy Hill Day is now closed. \nPricing: \n\nOrganizations that Have an Enterprise Engagement Package and/or Achieved COA Accreditation $25\nOther Organizations $40\n\n(This fee covers transportation\, congressional meeting scheduling\, and logistics.) \nNew to this year’s event will be Social Current’s first-ever Hill Day.
