CULTURE, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION CULTURE, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION Changing the Dynamic: Creating a Healthy Organizational Culture Shelter From The Storm: Recognizing, Understanding, and Defining Trauma In order to provide quality arts programming that is culturally relevant, organizations must build an intentional culture that supports quality teaching and learning. Organizational leadership and staff must continuously work towards a strong sense of personal self- awareness and towards understanding and addressing systems of inequalities within the organization’s structures and processes. The impact of childhood trauma and chronic stress is one of the most pressing issues facing educators today. Many of the students we work with have previously experienced, or are currently experiencing, trauma and stress from individual or family-based experiences and/or systemic issues such as poverty and violence in their neighborhoods. Educators must consider whether the arts space is welcoming for all students and develop strategies for building trust and rapport amongst students and staff. Who Should Attend? Who Should Attend?
