SOCW- 6051, Diversity, Human rights and social justice.

Discussion: Personal and Professional Social Work Values

               Week 10: Project Progress:2

Assignment: Power Point– Diversity Awareness & Self Reflection

 

In the profession of social work, there is an expectation that all service providers and professionals provide culturally responsive interventions and considerations to diverse individuals, groups, and communities. At the same time, the topic of diversity has the potential to create discomfort. How do social workers continue to not only engage in difficult conversations, but to also acknowledge and confront the layers of discomfort?

Learning about local diversity and attending cultural events is one way to challenge one’s perspective and engage with diverse others. For this Assignment, participate in an immersive experience in your community. As a guest at this experience, remember to take a stance of cultural humility and respectfully participate. You then create a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation about this experience in which you analyze related concepts in the course. You are expected to demonstrate professional demeanor in behavior, dress, and setting for the presentation.

To Prepare: Attend an open event in your community related to a diverse social identity (gender identity/expression, race/ethnicity, class, religion, ability, sexual orientation, national origin, or age). Then, create a PPT presentation and record the presentation using the Personal Capture function of Kaltura Media (see Kaltura Media Uploader linked in the classroom for instructions on using this technology). Use the Presentation feature to record both your PPT and a video of yourself presenting. 

By Day 7

Submit, a 7-10 minute recorded PowerPoint presentation and transcript of presentation. In the PPT presentation, address the following prompts: 

• Describe the cultural event in which you participated.  

• Explain how this experience influenced your perceptions of diversity and difference.

• Analyze at least 3 key concepts from this course in relation to this experience.

• Define what it means to you to engage with diversity and difference in practice.

• Describe two challenges associated with discussing and reflecting on diversity related content.

• Describe one strategy to address these challenges.

• Identify one positive emotion and one negative emotion that surfaced during the past 10 weeks of the course.

• Describe one strategy to address the negative emotion in order to continue developing cultural awareness.

• Explain specific steps that you will take to advance human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice based on what you have learned in this course.

It is highly recommended that you write a script before recording your presentation. A good guide for translating the length of your written script into presentation time is about 135 words per minute. This rate may differ based on your speaking style and other variables, so consider it a general guideline. 

To ensure accessibility of your presentation, you must submit a Transcript and/or use the Closed Captioning available in Kaltura Media. (If you select to use closed captioning, you must edit the closed captioning to confirm it was captioned correctly).

 

 

• This was the previous assignment before the final project done by Writer 85484. Find the paper attached.!!!!

 

In Week 10, you will submit a recorded PowerPoint presentation on a cultural event in which you participate. This final project allows faculty to evaluate how you integrate the various concepts related to diversity, human rights, and social justice. You will be expected to evaluate course content as you share aspects of your experience. This Week, you are asked to provide an updated on your progress.

It is recommended that you to attend the event no later than Week 8 to prevent last minute challenges with this assignment, such as in the case when an event is cancelled. The event should be open to the public and be related to a diverse social identity. Places that may list cultural events, meetings, or experiences include your local or neighborhood newspaper, church bulletins, local colleges, primary schools, or your local library.

 

Below are some possible ideas:

• Check your Office of Multicultural Affairs

• Town hall meeting in another part of town

• Local churches

• Local training

• Local agencies

• Identify local multicultural communities to see if there are any events

• Pride Event/Parade

• Contact a town visitor center

• Civic Committee

If you have difficulty identifying a cultural event in your community, please contact your Instructor immediately.

For this Week’s assignment, consider a short checklist of items to confirm you are prepared for this assignment.
