Institutes for Healing Racism October 20-21, 2008 | November 6-7, 2008 |
A powerful and thought provoking venue, the Institute for Healing Racism brings together diverse groups of people to explore and address issues of race and racism. Participants have the opportunity to examine how the “dis-ease” of racism affects ALL people and develop skills to detect and help eliminate institutional racism in our daily environments; home, workplace, community, organization and business.
Interactive exercises, dialogue, videos and story telling, over the course of two days, allow participants and facilitators to create a safe place where diverse views and experiences are validated.
The Institute for Healing Racism can be a transforming experience that challenges all of us to become positive agents of change and intentional allies in the work of building inclusive and anti-racist communities.
The Institute for Healing Racism is facilitated by certified trainers by the Woodrick Diversity Learning Center.
Registration for a 2-day Institute for Healing Racism is limited to 30 participants. Each participant must commit to attendance for both days.
Organizations have the option to schedule an “industry specific” 2-day Institute for Healing Racism. Participation is exclusive to its team members. The customized curriculum allows for scenarios and strategies for solutions specific to organizational needs and goals.
