Do No Harm: Anti-Oppression Training

This is not your typical “don’t say this, don’t do that” workshop. Instead, it is a layered exploration of the human experience and what it means to create peace within ourselves, our communities, and our systems through lived experience storytelling.

Course description

This training explores what it truly means to “do no harm” in our work, our communities, and ourselves. Over time, microaggressions, prejudice, and systemic inequities reinforce this belief, deepening isolation and pushing people into echo chambers where healing and connection feel out of reach.

Through dialogue, lived experience storytelling, and practice-based learning, participants will examine how cross-cultural partnerships can disrupt this cycle—opening pathways to reconciliation, shared humanity, and authentic connection across identities. This is not your typical “don’t say this, don’t do that” workshop. Instead, it is a layered exploration of the human experience and what it means to create peace within ourselves, our communities, and our systems.

Topics include:

  • Understanding how trauma, bias, and microaggressions shape belonging and exclusion.
  • Exploring antisemitism, Islamophobia, LGBTQ+ oppression, racial injustice, and classism in real-world contexts.
  • Practicing cross-cultural skills that foster reconciliation and healing.
  • Building trauma-informed strategies for collective liberation and sustained change.

At its heart, this training offers a deeper understanding of oppression, resilience, and the ways we can create more just and compassionate spaces across all areas of life.
