About the Workshop
This intensive 2-day workshop is for people who are ready to take a deeper look at the historical development of racism in the U.S., how it still manifests itself and is perpetuated in institutions today, and how it affects both people of color and white people.
A common definition of racism will be explored, and each manifestation of racism - individual, institutional and cultural - will be examined along with their effects on both communities of color and white communities. The issue of racism and the task of dismantling racism will be viewed from political, social, spiritual, and ethical perspectives.
Workshop Setting
The workshop is conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect, caring and safety; and is not based on confrontation, guilt and judgment. Each component builds on another, so full time participation is required.
Who Should Register
The training is open to all interested persons, especially institutional leaders who have responsibility for cultural diversity or social justice agendas in institutions including: healthcare, public and private school systems, colleges and universities, governmental/municipal, financial, philanthropic, judicial, public safety, faith-based and community-based institutions.
