Explores the impact of micro-aggressions on our interactions with others and increases our awareness of strategies to manage and reduce micro-aggressions.
“a small act or remark that makes someone feel insulted or treated badly because of their race, sex, etc., even though the insult, etc. may not have been intended, and that can combine with other similar acts or remarks over time to cause emotional harm”
Cambridge Dictionary
Micro-aggressions are an example of subtle, indirect discrimination against a marginalised group. They are small acts of prejudice which expose the speaker’s biases and can have negative repercussions on the lives of the recipients.
Micro-aggressions may not feel significant at the time. They are commonplace interactions that can’t always be readily identified as prejudice. This ambiguity puts the person who is on the receiving end of micro-aggressions in a tricky position, speaking out may be perceived as 'overreacting'. Feelings of powerlessness can result. This sense of powerlessness can be compounded in the workplace where speaking out may hurt one's reputation.
This course helps delegates to understand what micro-aggressions are and what causes them to occur. They can then appreciate the impact micro-aggressions have on our interactions with others and recognise the benefits of learning strategies which can manage and reduce micro-aggressions.
This short 2-hour course encourages delegates to learn about micro-aggressions and what causes them to occur, explore their impact on our interactions with others and increase our awareness of strategies to manage and reduce them.
