The forum was well received and attended. Further\, racism was explored by Glenn Singleton in a keynote at our Biennial Summit. Clearly racial equity remains an important topic to address. \nWe are proud to partner again with the Australian Intercultural Society for the seventh year in a row to bring you Part 2 of this important forum. \nHave the conversations in anti-racism and racial equity stagnated or matured since our 2021 forum and how do we continue to accelerate action? \nJoin us again on 8 December from 12.30-2.00pm live at RMIT\, Melbourne CBD\, and virtually\, as we continue our conversations and continue to work together to engage your head\, heart\, and gut\, in listening\, learning and leading. We will gather at 12 for a light lunch and networking.  \nWe will revisit and build on our previous anti-racism forum and explore together: \n\nRacism and psychological safety in the workplace\nBuilding allyship and accountability to the community that we serve\nRacial equity and intersectionality\, threading the arguments. \n\n  \nCome along to hear different perspectives including: \nShankar Kasynathan\nShankar is an anti racism campaigner who over the past 20 years has accumulated experiences in Youth Services\, Housing\, Public Health\, Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs across Victoria\, Western Australia\, the Northern Territory and the ACT.
