| En janvier 2019 j'ai publié aux Éditions Somme Toute '11 brefs essais contre le racisme pour une lutte systémique', un ouvrage collectif que j'ai codirigé avec le Président de la Ligue des Droits et Libertés, Christian Nadeau. Cette publication a donné naissance à une tournée d'éducation populaire autour de l'antiracisme à travers le Québec.Ces multiples implications m'ont permis de développer un savoir théorique et expérientiel ainsi qu’une analyse fine des défis que rencontrent plusieurs organisations québécoises en matière d’inclusion des multiples diversités, d’équité et d’intersectionnalité. Depuis quelques années je me consacre à l’accompagnement et à la création d’outils de formations afin de soutenir les organismes et les institutions qui s’engagent dans des processus de changement et d’inclusion. Mon approche interactive et dynamique privilégie la co-création et la réflexivité ce qui permet aux organismes et aux individus de s’approprier les nouveaux savoirs et de les pérenniser dans leurs pratiques. | [email protected] | Zaazaa | (Elle/She/her) | (01) (514) 2615334 | www.linkedin.com/in/amelzaazaa?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app | Quebec | Canada | French | Anti-racism,Equity and inclusion,Human resources,Program and programing,Policy,Communication | Anti-racism,Anti-oppressions,Intersectional feminism,Decolonization,Intersectional approaches,AEDIJ | Consultant,Trainer,Advisor,Speaker / facilitator,Workshop,Tools and resources,Storyteller,Mediator,Equity / ethic audit | ||
