Design for Belonging book club and practise group

Design for belonging book cover.

Let's strengthen our belonging skills as we read and do the exercises in the book Design for Belonging by Susie Wise together! We will together learn how to build inclusion and collaboration in your communities.

The Design for Belonging book is part of a Stanford d.school series of designer guides published in collaboration with Ten Speed Press. The book opens up important concepts such as belonging and othering, and how one can participate and contribute to the building of a more equitable society.   

This group is open to all who would like to better dismantle racism and personally implement anti-racist practices into our daily lives on a personal and professional level. Welcome!
 
Participation is free of charge. Meetings take place via Teams. Email Arlene Tucker to register and for any inquiries about the group, arlene.tucker@cultureforall.fi.

While it is best if participants could come to the meetings regularly for personal and collective support, it is most important that one reads, discusses, listens and journals to  create their own personal commitment to doing the work. We are here for each other. If you would like to join the group to just do the belonging exercises, that is also possible.  

The book is in English. Discussions will be mainly held in English. For other language and communication capabilities, please let Arlene know so that we can best accommodate you and our group. You can purchase your own copy of the book or borrow it from the library. 
 
To register to join the meetings, contact Arlene Tucker at arlene.tucker@cultureforall.fi. She will then send you the Teams links.
