Session 1, Slides 15-20
Racism/Prejudice Comments (slide 15 & 16)
Time: 10 minutes
Measurable objective:
Participants will develop a deeper understanding of the level of racism and prejudice that is experienced by particular groups, and understand patterns of this racism/prejudice within Canada.
F2F Facilitation Materials needed:
- Projector and screen or slide handouts.
- Day 1 Session Slides
- Session 1 Agenda
- URL Links for videos
Online Facilitation – Material needed:
- Remote meeting software with share screen, chat and breakout room capability (Zoom, Teams, etc.)
- Day 1 Session Slides
- Session 1 Agenda
Description:
These slides highlight the percentage of racism and prejudice comments that particular groups experience from social media and face-to-face interactions. It will be valuable to point out, although not completely surprising, that the experience of racism/prejudice is higher on social media than from in-person interactions.
Facilitator tips:
The current slides date from prior to 2019. It will be advisable for the facilitators to seek the most current information from the same source or, if not available, from other sources.
Microaggression (slide 17)
Time: 5 minutes
Measurable objective:
Participants will come away with an understanding of what microaggression is; how, over time, it impacts those targeted, and an awareness of the underlying biases, stereotypes and prejudices that fuel these behaviours. They will also understand that these biases, stereotypes and prejudices may be conscious or unconscious.

Description:
The first step is to ensure that the participants understand what constitutes a microaggression. According to Merriam-Webster, “microaggression is a comment or action that subtly and often unconsciously or unintentionally expresses a prejudiced attitude toward a member of a marginalized group (such as a racial minority).” It will be a valuable discussion to ask the participants whether any of them have been on the receiving end of microaggressions, and if so, to describe them.
Facilitator Tip:
Suggestion to have a break, approximately 15 minutes, before the next slide and the follow up discussion.
Microaggression Examples (slides 18 & 19)
Time: 5 minutes
Measurable objective:
