Thank you for joining us in 2023!
Panelists will reflect on their reflections on the journey toward allyship, and then respond to one another and take questions as time permits.
How do we translate theory into practice?
What does allyship look like in community?
How does this inform our advocacy as social workers?
What are the challenges and opportunities of joining together in shared advocacy efforts?
Panelists include members of the Social Justice Committee and representatives of advocacy partners (Shelter NS, CMHA-NS, Legal Info NS, Housing is Health Coalition)
Panelists will help facilitate a conversation on the following questions which will serve as the foundation for conference attendees to discuss:
How do we translate experience into better practice?
How do embrace the learning process?
How do we turn challenges into opportunities?
How can we show up as allies in spaces of dominant groups? How do we hold ourselves accountable/share accountability?
The panel discussion will be followed by break-out discussion groups.
