Decolonizing Implementation
Youth-Led Decolonial SWOT Analysis
Has your organization completed one of our workshops in the past and looking to go deeper? Are you ready to begin implementing decolonizing practices or assess how that’s been going?
Decolonizing Implementation offers a deep-dive into how to apply everything you’ve learned & unlearned through our foundational workshops, like our Sínulhkay and Ladders Decolonizing Practices workshop. This is a two-hour, youth-led analysis and tactical planning session directed at organizations who want to include decolonizing practices into the policy of their workplace. (Make sure to complete our Cultural Safety Planning pre-work before booking.)
This is for you if…
-
Your organization has previously completed a Nahanee Creative workshop (in person or virtual).
-
Your team has a foundational understanding of decolonizing practices and the need to apply them.
-
You are ready to go deeper, and begin taking action towards decolonizing!
Important Note
We work with organizations who have awareness of colonial impacts and who want to start answering the question “what can we do?” now. Organizations who do not want to rush into helping and contribute to harm. Organizations who want to raise critical consciousness and build a solid team-driven foundation for their anti-racism, inclusion and reconciliation plans. We’ve witnessed huge transformations in thousands of people from many different backgrounds and contexts. We are grateful to catalyze social change in service of undoing colonial impacts.

Lead Facilitator:
Ta7talíya Paisley Eva — LEAD DECOLONIAL FACILITATOR
Ta7talíya Paisley Eva hails from the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Nation village of Eslha7an and is based in what is colonially known as “Vancouver”.
She currently lends her facilitation skills to Decolonizing Practices, M̓i tel'nexw Leadership Society and The Fireweed Fellowship. She is also part of the duo behind MST Futurism, a project which focuses on uplifting and celebrating Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh visions for the future.
Accessibility:
The conversation will be orally facilitated and the ability to maneuver a mouse online may come up but is not necessary to participate. While transitioning from slide to slide, we will let people know what is happening in text on screen. We will also be typing live, I'll urge that spelling and speed don't matter, but others will see your process if that's a barrier. We are happy to adapt where this comes up.
Unfortunately at this time, there is no ASL Interpretation.
