“a bias that happens automatically, is outside of our control and is triggered by our brain making quick judgments and assessments of people and situations, influenced by our background, cultural environment and personal experiences.”Sylvana Storey

In this workshop we'll look at five types of bias each of us have and strategies we can use to reduce our bias and increase compassion in our communities.
