NARN Unconscious Bias Training
We all have prejudices, or biases, in favor or against things, beings, people, or groups. In itself, a bias is not necessarily a bad thing – after all, we tend to make sense of our world by categorizing, and it’s pretty natural to feel safer around things, people, or groups that are familiar or like us. Biases become a problem though, when they are based in social stereotypes and result in harm to others.
This training will give you an opportunity to explore the concept of unconscious bias and learn how empathy can help us overcome harmful biases, so we can become better allies and advocates for the animals and each other.
