As we make progress towards increasing inclusivity in decision making processes within indigenous communities, I’m keen to know about the challenges my network may have faced when implementing projects in rural and more reserved communities throughout the world. A very real challenge lies between understanding that certain traditional and societal norms cannot be changed and molded to best fit the narrative of the global north but it is also worth recognizing that under-represented and vulnerable groups within communities have a right to be key part of decision making. #SocialRoles #GEDSI

As we reflect on our journey through academia, a group class photograph stands as a powerful symbol of our collective experience. It's more than just a snapshot in time; it represents a microcosm of society, where diverse individuals come together to learn, grow, and achieve a common goal. Successful Stakeholder Relations and Community Engagement are built on open communication, mutual respect, and trust. Similarly, genuine community engagement involves active collaboration and ensuring every voice is valued. These practices enhance our professional networks and drive us towards more inclusive, sustainable outcomes. Inspired by our academic experiences, let's champion inclusivity, collaboration, and respect in our professional interactions. By embracing the diverse perspectives and contributions of every stakeholder and community member, we can co-create a future where everyone is empowered and valued. A special note of thanks to my Professor Jennifer Pandelidis and the York University School of Continuing Studies for helping me understand and providing me the platform to implement the importance of Stakeholder Relations and Community Engagement. #StakeholderRelations #CommunityEngagement #Inclusivity #ProfessionalGrowth #yorkuniversity #canada #toronto

Great piece about "How to Tell Real Stories About Impact" in Stanford Social Innovation Review by Annie Neimand, PhD "Stories of impact should show how organizations are part of a larger movement ecosystem working with other organizations and movement actors to transform systems and culture through their unique contributions. These stories will feature multiple characters with different backgrounds, interests, roles, and perspectives, all working together to address an issue. When we tell these stories over and over, we can create a new, more accurate narrative of change through collective action." https://lnkd.in/gEb7CUxp

This week we're re-reading "How to Tell Real Stories About Impact" by Annie Neimand, PhD in Stanford Social Innovation Review—such an insightful piece challenging traditional storytelling norms. Check it out if you haven't yet. 3 takeaways we're taking to heart: 1. Challenging traditional narratives: It's time to move beyond simplistic storytelling formulas and delve deeper into the complexity of social issues. Let's rethink how we tell stories to create more authentic and engaging narratives. 2. The power of collective action: Real change often stems from collective efforts rather than individual heroism. Let's highlight the importance of collaboration and community in our storytelling to showcase the impact of collective action. 3. Committing to ethical storytelling: As storytellers, we have a responsibility to represent all communities with dignity and respect. Let's prioritize ethical storytelling practices that center the voices and experiences of those directly affected by injustice.

Creating a more inclusive and sustainable future for our coasts requires the involvement of local communities, especially minorities and young people.
