A Series of two Zoom Workshops (for adults) will follow on Saturdays, December 5th and 12th, from 9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Participants will delve deeper into the content of the stories, exploring their feelings about the issues presented through simulations, telling their own stories, and asking more personal questions of themselves as unconscious, collective biases are uncovered. Facilitators will also use break out rooms for smaller, more intimate discussions. These workshops will help attendees process what their hearts and minds have heard.
Our goal? To help participants increase their understanding, and continue to examine and challenge their individual behaviors, perhaps even their organizational policies and practices. Facilitated dialogue, exercises and/or simulations will help people to process the impact of the shared stories.
In today’s heightened awareness of institutionalized racism, social inequity, and white privilege, storytelling is uniquely positioned to bring people together in an environment of co-respectful telling and listening.
