First Stories: Two Spirited 
This short documentary presents the empowering story of Rodney “Geeyo” Poucette’s struggle against prejudice in the Indigenous community as a two-spirited person (gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender).  

Second Stories:  Deb-we-win Ge-ken-am-aan, Our Place in the Circle 
Lorne Olson’s short documentary presents a vision he had of two-spirited people dancing, laughing, and smiling. His vision spurs him to rediscover the strength of the past to better face the challenges of today. This funny and buoyant film documents his touching journey.

 

As workplaces become increasingly diverse, inclusion requires more than good intentions—it requires intercultural awareness, reflection, and skillful action. This session explores how cultural values, norms, and communication styles shape expectations, relationships, and experiences in the workplace. 

Grounded in research on Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and cultural dimensions, participants will examine how factors such as power distance, individualism vs. collectivism, and high vs. low-context communication influence collaboration, management styles, feedback, conflict, and perceptions of “professionalism” and “soft skills.” Drawing on examples from education, work-integrated learning, and workplace settings, the session invites participants to critically reflect on how dominant cultural norms—often rooted in colonial and Anglo-European traditions—continue to shape organizational practices. 

Through guided reflection, discussion, and cultural values mapping, participants will develop greater awareness of their own cultural positioning and learn practical strategies for communicating across difference. The workshop emphasizes curiosity, empathy, and adaptability as core competencies for building more intercultural and inclusive teams, programs, and workplaces. 

Participants will leave with concrete tools, shared language, and actionable strategies to strengthen trust, reduce intercultural misunderstandings, and foster environments where diverse ways of communicating, learning, and working are recognized and valued.

March 6 is Employee Appreciation Day, a chance to recognize the everyday efforts that make our workplace such a supportive community.

This session is approachable, real, and skill-based – facilitated in a respectful, strengths-based way, no overwhelming theory. Participants will leave with simple language, response options they can actually use, and a one-page takeaway tool that helps them to: 

• Recognize common microaggressions and “edge-of-respect” comments in workplace and classroom settings 
• Learn 3–4 practical response options (from subtle to direct) to use in the moment 
• Practice a simple interruption script (what to say, how to say it, what to do next)
• Understand how to follow up after the moment (repair, support, and escalation pathways when needed)

Step inside. Look around. Experience inclusion from every angle. 

As part of Inclusion Week 2026, the RRC Polytech community is invited to explore our first-ever Inclusion Week Pop-Up Immersion Room Art Gallery, titled: Inclusion: The Spaces We Share. 

Earlier this February, staff and students were invited to submit photographs capturing moments of belonging, connection, and inclusion. We received an inspiring collection of submissions from across our college community. 

Now, it’s time to experience them in a whole new way. 

14 voices. 14 perspectives. One community. 

These photographs will be showcased in a 360° immersive gallery experience, transforming the space into a walk-through reflection of diverse stories and shared spaces. Whether you stay for a few minutes or linger longer, this experience invites you to immerse yourself, appreciate the photos and the stories behind them, pause, reflect, and see inclusion through the lenses of your colleagues and classmates. 

No registration required – just drop in! 

Bring a friend. Stay a while. Experience inclusion in action. 

 

This workshop is designed for Instructors seeking to create inclusive and culturally responsive learning environments through de-colonizing the curriculum and their classrooms.

By the end of this workshop, participants will have gained the knowledge and practical skills needed to create decolonized classrooms that embrace diverse perspectives, foster inclusivity, and promote culturally responsive teaching and learning. 

Upon completing this workshop, you will be able to: 

• Identify teaching and classroom strategies that are aligned with Indigenous ways of knowing. 

• Apply teaching strategies that incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing and learning in the classroom. 

• Use assessment strategies that reflect Indigenous ways of knowing and honour diverse ways of demonstrating knowledge and skills.   

• Create opportunities for students to build community in the classroom and work within their strengths using project-based learning, universal design for learning, and other relevant strategies.

Adam will speak about identity landscapes, lived experience and bias, and how we build the skills to move through cultural or identity differences with confidence and compassion. 

About the Presenter

Adam Nepon brings his experience as a storyteller, consultant, and inclusion-focused leader whose multi‑ethnic identity shapes his work. Born in Winnipeg and identifying as both Ashkenazi Jewish and Red River Métis, Adam grew up facing antisemitic violence while also moving through the world with the privilege of a non-visible Indigenous identity. These experiences taught him to read environments quickly, navigate bias, and understand how survival instincts can shape our assumptions about others. 

Today, Adam serves as Manager, Business Development – Health Transformation at RRC Polytech. His immersive storytelling invites audiences to explore identity, privilege, and the biases we all carry, while building the intercultural competencies needed for meaningful connection. Known for his humour and honesty, Adam creates spaces where difference becomes a source of learning, resilience, and belonging.

Through the present-day journey of a gifted young hockey player, Ice Breakers uncovers the buried history of how Black athletes helped pioneer modern hockey.

This interactive storytelling workshop invites students to explore how visible expressions of identity, including religious attire such as the hijab, shape experiences of belonging, perception, and inclusion in campus and community settings.  

Using storytelling as a reflective and connective tool, Amna Burki guides participants through conversation and shared narratives that examine assumptions, stereotypes, and the stories we tell about one another. While the hijab is a point of reflection, the session also creates space to discuss other forms of religious and cultural dress and what they represent.  

Participants are encouraged to reflect on identity, visibility, and respect, and to consider how curiosity, empathy, and listening can contribute to more inclusive campus communities. No prior storytelling experience is needed, only openness to learning and dialogue.  

About the Presenter

Amna Burki is a storyteller, facilitator, and DEIB consultant who harnesses the power of storytelling to cultivate leadership, inclusion, and cultural understanding. With a background in Economics, Management, and Gender Studies, she brings over two decades of experience working with community organizations and non-profits, advocating for equity and belonging.  

As a trained oral storyteller, Amna recognizes storytelling as one of the most powerful ways humans make sense of the world and an essential skill for effective leadership.
