Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is currently a hot topic in Canada. Organizations are seeking various approaches on fulfilling their responsibilities in DEI. In this workshop, we will look at how The Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), the regulatory body for all social workers and social workers in Ontario (similar to OCT), take on the responsibilities and work towards the goal for being more DEI. OCSWSSW was chosen as the case study organization because it is overseeing all the social workers and social services workers in Ontario, and it is responsible for developing policies that social workers and social workers must follow when they deliver their services. This seminar will also examine how one of the management body of the organization, the EDI (Equity, Diversity and Inclusion) committee approaches the issues and leading the directions for DEI for OCSWSSW.

Creativity is recognized as one of the essential skills for the 21st century, yet many educators still struggle with fostering it in their classrooms. How do we define creativity? Are students inherently creative, or can creativity be acquired in schools? Who gets to be creative, and are we providing opportunities for all? This session seeks to help educators explore the concept of creativity while looking at how it can be nurtured through pedagogical practice and learning spaces. Creativity knows no bounds, so this session is open to any educator looking to learn more about a posthumanist approach to creative classrooms.
