Championing Diversity Equity, & Inclusion Under Challenging Circumstances
This two-part webinar series supports small, largely rural organizations to continue to build an effective and equitable conservation movement, even in the face of attacks on public lands and DEI work. Our facilitators, Aparna and Cianna, are from the Avarna Group. The Avarna Group works to empower nonprofit, private, and public sector institutions driven by people-centered values to transform their ecosystems toward justice, fairness, and belonging. They complete this mission through strategic planning, facilitation, assessments, coaching, learning experiences, curriculum development, toolkits, and resources.
Webinar 1 - Having Difficult Conversations Across Values Divides
In this first webinar of a 2-part series, the Avarna Group will provide information to FGN members on some frameworks and practices for engaging in difficult conversations with partners and community members whose life experiences and values may differ from yours or your organization’s. The content will focus on how to build bridges and find common ground while still maintaining your values and the organization’s values.
