Confronting Racism: Knowledge --> Skills --> Action
We've all been there:
- Someone tells a racist joke, and no matter how hard you try, you can't seem respond appropriately.
- You are committed to eliminating racism, but would like more skills to help you respond to people in different settings.
If this sounds familiar, we invite you to take part in our Confronting Racism workshop.
This workshop is designed for those who have an understanding of white privilege and racism, and want to acquire skills in dealing with racism as it occurs in their personal lives. The workshop will develop the participants' active listening skills, as well as help them practice skills to respond to overt racism (i.e. racist remarks), and covert racism (privilege, microaggressions, etc). The skills learned in this workshop can be easily applied and taught to others to create more inclusive environments in our lives, and to continue the work of eliminating racism.
Workshop length: 2 hours
