Principles Guiding Your DiversiPro Learning Experiences
- All forms of racism are systemic—deeply rooted in our institutions and culture. Systemic problems require systemic IDEA solutions including time and resource commitments.
- DiversiPro’s IDEA teaching and learning processes are guided by people with lived experiences—“nothing about us without us.”
- DiversiPro’s IDEA teaching and learning approach is intersectional: it recognizes and addresses the many forms of oppression that operate together—racism, sexism, ableism and transphobia etc.—that work together to create compounded experiences of discrimination.
- DiversiPro uses a developmental approach which challenges organizational resistance to change and guides organizations in venturing outside their comfort zones where real changes can happen.
- DiversiPro emphasizes collaborative community engagement and rejects “token consultations” as a strategy that recognizes the inherent wisdom and capacity of people to create and lead their own solutions.
- Accessibility must be embedded through inclusive design that looks at removing all barriers to meaningful participation.
