Know yourself – replace judgement with inquiry:
•
Strengthen identity and personal responsibility: Take personal responsibility
within personal spheres of influence, overcome fear of indifference through
deepening knowledge and inquiry of self and others, support others to
replenish resilience
•
Form genuine relationships with others: Seek to understand and learn about
other cultures from and with people from different ethnic groups, learn to
embrace differences and find common ground, celebrate diversity.
Support communities to identify their own solutions: Support community
ownership and action in response to racism.
Promote collective responsibility – we’re all in this together:
•
Increase awareness about racism and systems of support within Aotearoa
New Zealand: Normalise conversations about racism and practical and
effective ways to respond, flip the script on negative and biased media
reporting
•
Openly talk about racism with purpose and strengthen collective
responsibility: Encourage opportunities for people to discuss racism in a safe
place, strengthen collective responsibility, resilience and opportunities.
Protect our future: Build resilience for individuals, whānau/families and
communities. Encourage and support children and young people to become change
agents.
