Trusting relationships are at the foundation of inclusivity. In professional settings, the actions and experiences that establish trust can differ across individuals and cultures.

In this workshop, we will:

• discuss why taking time for trust building is vital in multicultural interactions and teams.
• define different orientations to trust-building and locate our own orientation.
• learn about the role of empathy and cultural humility in trust building.
• explore strategies for shifting our approach trust-building in work with colleagues and students.

This will be an interactive workshop – be prepared for reflection and application activities. If you have questions or specific scenarios you would like to discuss, please contact Victoria Surtees: Victoria.surtees@ufv.ca
