- Diversity Forum Fridays: Fostering Psychological Safety to Enhance Belonging and Community
- Time: 9:00 am - 10:30 am
- Place: in Chamberlin 5310 & Zoom
- Abstract: For over 20 years, UW–Madison has hosted the annual Diversity Forum for participants to engage in discourse and education on contemporary issues related to creating equitable and inclusive learning and working environments.
2024 Theme: Threads of Belonging: Navigating Differences and Building Community
Fostering Psychological Safety to Enhance Belonging and Community explores the critical role of psychological safety in fostering inclusive environments where every individual feels valued and able to bring their full selves to the community. Drawing from Madison College’s Psychological Safety training program, we will delve into best practices for creating and sustaining psychologically safe spaces that promote diversity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging. Our workshop offers a comprehensive understanding of psychological safety and its significance in creating inclusive environments that facilitate belonging and success. Through engaging activities and discussions, we’ll deepen understanding of the challenges faced by underrepresented groups and explore effective culturally responsive practices. Our session integrates principles of psychological safety, restorative practices, and intersectionality to drive meaningful change. Attendees will learn about the foundational concepts covered in the program and leave with actionable steps and innovative tools for building inclusive communities and fostering belonging for all. - Host: Rachel Zizmann
