| THE IDR TRANSFORMATIONAL PROCESS |
IDR's work focuses on institutional transformation,
rather than just a training experience. We use our
trainings as starting points for institutions as they
embark on a journey of transformation toward an
anti-racist, multicultural identity.
Whether your organization starts with a short
introduction session, a one-day workshop, or the
2.5 day training, you will be asked to start the
process of organizing within your institution. This
phase requires a strategic plan to expose key people
within the institution to the analysis, as well as other
staff, in order to build a critical mass ready to
support the transformation process. Depending on
several factors, this process can take several months.
Once this goal has been accomplished, the
institution is ready to form an anti-racism team that
will lead the internal institutional transformation
process. In order to be effective, the team needs to
have the full support of the institution's leadership
manifested in the allocation of a budget, as well as
the authority, to carry out its functions.
It is important to understand that the culture of any
institution was built over the many years the
organization has been in existence, thus the work of
transforming its culture can not be accomplished in
a short time. To this end, institutions are
encouraged to create 20 to 30 year-plans in order
to accomplish the goal of becoming an inclusive,
anti-racist, and multicultural organization.
Finally, since organizations vary greatly in terms of
history, size, leadership structure and culture, the
transformational process will also vary based on
those factors. In other words, not every
transformation process will look exactly the same;
each institution will be guided in a process
specifically tailored to its needs and idiosyncrasies.
