Black equity and inclusion
Guided by the Sankofa principle, this curated collection of learning products is anchored by a teaching and learning framework that is built on four pillars: social transformation, Afrocentrism (an approach that recentres the perspectives, knowledge systems, and experiences of people of African descent), experiential learning, and a trauma-informed approach.
Developed in collaboration with members of Black employee networks and Black communities, this learning path aligns with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canadian Human Rights Act , Canada's Black Justice Strategy, Changing Systems, Transforming Lives: Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy 2024-2028, the Clerk's Call to Action on Anti-Racism, Equity, and Inclusion in the Federal Public Service, and the Canada Labour Code.
The following foundational learning products identify how historical and present-day anti-Black racism shapes workplace experiences and public outcomes for Black Canadians.
The following learning products help public servants to identify systemic barriers, strengthen inclusive workplaces for Black employees, and deliver more equitable services to Black Canadians.
Many federal organizations have their own internal black employees network. Consult with your departmental diversity and inclusion office or employment equity team to learn more about what is available where you work.
