What does it mean to raise Anti-Bias/Anti-Racist children? Why is it important for schools to integrate this work into the curriculum?
Our children live in a multicultural and non-binary world. Adult fears and lack of tools in our toolboxes often stop us from broaching the “taboo topics” of race, gender identity, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and class with our children. Come learn how to raise the next generation to be racially literate and confident.
This workshop will invite us to think about how we were brought up and offer a healthy and more holistic approach to raising our children. The best medicine for “unlearning” racism and other “isms” is to start young so that there is less “baggage” to unpack as we get older. This interactive workshop is designed to invite dialogue and offer a framework for equity and inclusion work both at home and at school. Participants will leave with tools to interrupt bias and respond to children’s questions and noticings around difference.
