In the ever-evolving landscape of social justice, “”decolonization”” has emerged as a pivotal concept. But what does it truly entail? Join us in this interactive session as we delve into the essence of decolonization, exploring its profound implications for anti-oppression and liberation movements. Together, we’ll unravel the legacy of colonization that has permeated our collective existence, shaping our minds, bodies, spirits, and hearts. Through foundational knowledge and dialogue, participants will gain insight into the intricacies of decolonization and its resonance with our social conditioning within colonial frameworks. We’ll navigate the disruptions inflicted upon our relationships and connections by colonialism, envisioning new paradigms of self and communal interaction. Central to our exploration is the concept of “”Relationship,”” as we redefine its essence and its significance within the realm of child welfare. By scrutinizing the roots of disconnection that underpin contemporary systems of oppression, including racism, we’ll embark on a journey to re-center our connections. Drawing upon indigenous wisdom, we’ll seek inspiration to foster authentic relationships and catalyze transformative change. Join us as we collectively interrogate, and co-create novel pathways of connection, guided by the ethos of good Relationship. Together, let’s sow the seeds of change, nurturing a ripple effect that extends far beyond our immediate communities.
