This interactive online session is designed as a space to support men in building healthier workplace culture in the construction/design industry. Through presentation and dialogue, patriarchal and toxic habits will be discussed, including their root causes, net effects, and how to change them. Participants will leave the workshop inspired with ideas, tips, and tools for how to positively impact work culture. This workshop will be led by social justice educator, author and speaker Chris Crass.
