3 Steps To Build a Culture of Belonging - Workbook

Facilitating social change requires building a culture of belonging and trust. Building such a culture involves both inner and outer work.

The most important instrument for social change is you. If you want to strengthen your skills and learn new approaches to inspire and facilitate sustainable social change, this is your chance to tap into your own wealth of experience as well as the guidance of Jessie Sutherland, creator of the award-winning Belonging Matters framework.

Belonging Matters Foundations


Belonging Matters Foundations - Workbooks - Collection

Many systems, policies, practices and even attitudes and behaviours are outdated and contribute to the social and environmental challenges facing our communities and our world. More and more leaders recognize what does not work and seek a fresh approach to build connected communities for meaningful action.

The Belonging Matters Foundations five-part training series provides practical tools and approaches to build cultures of belonging. Adopting these foundational steps is essential to engage diversity, unleash dormant talents, and ignite collaboration in order to address complex social problems.

Belonging Matters Conversations


Belonging Matters Conversations - Workbook

In this series of customized, facilitated conversations, participants come together in a collaborative, problem-solving approach to build belonging and, together, address their priority challenges.

Through guided dialogues that nurture their own meaning of belonging, participants share stories and apply reflective learning strategies. The co-creation of visual legacies amplify participants’ voices, internalize key insights, and become the catalyst for participant-led solutions for lasting community change.
