Webinar Theme:

Negative Stereotypes about Arabs, including Arab Canadians are wide-spread in Canada. Diversity, inclusion and racism require illumination and informed discussion. This webinar “ Perspectives on Diversity and Inclusion: Canada and Arab Canadians” aims to allow for a conversation on diversity and inclusion, and Canada’s anti-racism strategy. It seeks to foster awareness about Arabs and to reflect on challenges and barriers to the integration of Arab Canadians and acknowledge their contributions to Canadian society.
