Hi all,

After the s= uccess of the Allyship virtual workshops we held last September (about 95 o= f you attended these sessions) we are offering a couple more Allyship works= hops for folks who couldn=E2=80=99t attend last year and we are adding 3 new workshops on Bystan= der Intervention. Dr. Kim Tran, a strategic expert in diversity, equity, an= d inclusion will lead these 90-minute virtual workshops for our open source= communities, and offer DEI education to support our contributors!=C2=A0

These workshops serve to facilitate conversations around al= lyship, bystander intervention and inclusion in tech companies and activist= spaces allowing organizations and companies to create better workplaces, w= elcoming environments, and mitigate potential set-backs.=C2=A0

These 90-minute virtual workshops are organized with small groups (ma= x of 35 people) to allow for conversations, questions, and engagement. Thes= e sessions will be live and not recorded to allow participants to create tr= ust and take part fully in the workshops.=C2=A0

The works= hops have been designed with open source in mind, and specific challenges t= hat our communities face based on the voluntary nature and history of open = source. These workshops are for all groups interested in creating a more we= lcoming and inclusive environment in their communities, regardless of their= background.

Bystander intervention gives= global teams the tools to address bias in tech. Learning how to recognize,= intervene, and show empathy raises awareness, improves attitudes, and enco= urages others to disrupt. It also helps targets report and seek support. In= this session, participants learn how to identify common workplace biases a= nd effectively interrupt marginalization. The Brave Bystanding session crea= tes belonging through skill building and practical techniques that address = inequity in all contexts.

We encourage you to take= the Allyship workshop before taking part in the Bystander Intervention worksh= op as there are concepts discussed in depth in the Allyship workshop that w= ill be needed to participate fully in the Bystander Intervention workshop. = If you took the Allyship course last year this is the same general workshop= , please do not sign up for the Allyship session again. : )

If you are interested in taking part in one (or both) of the workshops p= lease complete this Interest form by Friday, June 17th 1800 UTC. Once we have all of the res= ponses we=E2=80=99ll divide folks between the workshops and send you a conf= irmation email with more details on the workshops after June 20th.

Best,

Stephanie, Saranya and Radha
