Description

Privilege and oppression are two sides of the same coin. Where systems exist that benefit one group, they create a barrier for others. This simulation tackles essential, but often uncomfortable conversations about the role of privilege in perpetuating power imbalances in our society and asks – what is it, who has it, and what can we do about it, if we want to create a more equitable society?

This simulation has been co-developed in collaboration with George Brown College.

This module is part of our Let’s Talk About Race series.
