Intercultural competence is at the core of what we do. DiversiPro defined intercultural competence as having the capability to shift cultural perspective and change behaviors when encountering cultural and identity-based differences and commonalities.
All forms of racism are systemic and therefore deeply embedded within our institutions and culture. Systemic problems require systemic solutions including time and resource commitment.
The work must be informed and guided by people with lived experiences – “nothing about us, without us.”
The work must be intersectional – it must recognize and address the multiple forms of oppression that operate together to create compounded experiences of discrimination (e.g., racism, sexism, ableism, and transphobia).
Systems are designed to resist change and maintain the status quo. DiversiPro uses a developmental approach to challenge and guide organizations outside their comfort zone where real change can happen.
Moving away from token “consultations” to meaningful community engagement – a more collaborative approach that recognizes the inherent wisdom and capacity of people to create and lead their own solutions.
Accessibility must be embedded through inclusive design that looks at removing all barriers to meaningful participation, every step of the way.
