Description
At Community Business, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the privileged should elevate the voices of the underprivileged in the pursuit of freedom of expression, a sense of belonging and the ability to fully realise their potentials. Through participating in this workshop, participants will have the chance to reflect upon their own unique privileges, to build empathy towards those who are underprivileged, and to learn how to leverage their privilege to do good.
Key Takeaways
- Recognise identities as multiple facets instead of a single entity
