JOIN RAISING RACE CONSCIOUS CHILDREN FOR INTERACTIVE OCTOBER 2024 WORKSHOP SERIES
The October 2024 interactive workshop series will take place on Sunday, October 20th at 8 PM, EST (and Follow-Up Workshop on October 27th at 8 PM, EST).
NOTE: Registration for this workshop series may close 48 hours prior.
We often avoid talking about race with our young children but research has shown that children notice similarities and differences between people. When we are silent, children 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.
In this 1.5 hour-long introductory workshop/webinar, we 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.
In the 1.5 hour follow-up workshop, we will focus on specific scenarios (to be submitted by participants). Participants will practice race conscious strategies from the introductory webinar and participants will receive structured and supportive feedback on various questions/scenarios. The follow-up webinar will also begin at 8 PM EST.
Pre-workshop readings and instructions for logging on will be sent out (to the email participants used to register on Stripe) 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.

Two-parent Registration fee: $130
Registration Fee for hosting a Race Conscious Gathering (up to 6 individuals): $290
