Interactive Workshop/Webinar June 27th at 8 PM, EST (and Follow-Up Webinar on July 11th)
NOTE: Registration for the June 27th webinar may close 48 hours prior (on June 25th)
We often avoid talking about race with our young children but, whether we like it or not, children notice similarities and differences between people. When we are silent, they are left to draw their own conclusions about what “different” means. Without coaching or support, their conclusions often reflect and reinforce biases. Fortunately – when we are intentional – we can impact the ways that our children see, categorize, and make meaning about race.
If you already use race conscious talk with young children on a regular basis, you may want to consider an individual consultation…though this workshop may offer additional strategies to more experienced race conscious practitioners. This workshop is geared towards White people but all are welcome to participate–and strategies may be helpful for all.
In this 1.5 hour-long workshop/webinar, you will:
- Develop confidence to talk about race with young children
- Practice various strategies to proactively talk about race with young children.
- Strengthen children’s ability to become a change-maker.
Pre-workshop readings and instructions for logging on will be sent out (to the email participants used to register on Paypal) one week prior to the webinar.
You may participate in the workshop/webinar as an individual, or you can organize a virtual Race Conscious Gathering and invite up to 6 people to participate as a team of parents/educators committed to racial justice. You may also register for the webinar in addition to the Follow-Up Webinar* as a bundle, either as an individual or as a Race Conscious Gathering.
