RAPP offers free programming to the University of Cincinnati and the Greater Cincinnati community on a variety of diversity, multicultural, social justice, and communication topics.
We will work with interested groups to develop a program to suit their needs on most any topic, and can make referrals on topics we feel others can do better than we.
Common topics we present on include:
- Self-awareness: Identifying and exploring our own social identities, such as race, gender, sexuality, religion, class, etc.;
- Campus awareness: Exploring diversity at UC, including statistical diversity and campus resources on race, gender, sexuality, ability, and religion;
- Just Community: Exploring the UC Just Community initiative and identifying ways we can create a just and caring community;
- Effective Communication Strategies: Exploring key concepts in crosscultural communication and how to use them to improve communication;
- Communication around Triggers: Identifying our own triggers and common triggers and strategizing about how to respond when triggered that promote learning;
- Allyship: Exploring a holistic concept of allies and identifying how to develop effective ally skills.
- Power & Privilege: Exploring how social power and unearned privilege manifest and how to become an agent of change fighting oppression.
