How we show up for speaking programs and workshops:
Part of Feminist Oasis’ mission is to explore sustainable models of business and community. Bringing feminist perspectives from these explorations to existing stakeholders and decision-makers across the business community is a critical step in this process.
- Make it Approachable — Feminism and systemic justice can be daunting topics, so we work intentionally to cover subject matter from an introductory standpoint. When possible, we send out a preliminary survey to gauge audience interest and level of comfort with the material we’re going to cover.
- Encourage Curiosity — Part of the discussion guidelines that we have established for our events, and that have proven successful when covering topics that can generate a spectrum of opinions and responses is an agreement to show up with curiosity.
- Have Fun! — We know that a catalyst for deep learning is making connections with each other and the material. We make information memorable by showing up with a sense of humor and building interaction and play into the process.
