Join us for three online community sessions of our Antiracism, Deconstructing Whiteness & Allyship Training Workshops.
If you've been looking for ways to be a good ally and be anti racist in the way you work, think and navigate the world then this workshop series is for you. These workshops are the perfect to develop your understanding of structural racism and your skills in challenging racism and oppression when you see it.
Workshop 1: What do you know about race & racism?
Date/Time: 6th July 9.30am - 1pm
This is an engaging and interactive session designed to develop literacy, empathy, and understanding of race-related issues and identities, and improve safety and support for people of colour in your organisation, movement or place of work. It is appropriate for a range of knowledge levels and experiences, and creates a safe environment for real conversations about race and racism.
Workshop 2: Deconstructing Whiteness
Date/Time: 13th July 9.30am - 1pm
Together we explore what Whiteness looks like, how it shapes our values, ways of life and how we understand the world, and its structural impacts in our workplaces. We examine common problematic responses to racial discourse and how to identify those within ourselves and others. Often our instinct is to jump to action before we have had time to adequately reflect and process our learnings. This workshop is focussed on reflection rather than jumping too fast to solutions. It the perfect precursor to our Allyship workshop for individuals and organisations looking to challenge themselves and go further in their learning.
Workshop 3: Allyship
Date/Time: 20th July9.30am - 1pm
As a follow up to our What Do You Know About Race & Racism training, this workshop converts your newly developed understanding of race and racism into practical skills for meaningful allyship in your everyday life. Using a combination of group work, role play, and personal reflection, this workshop develops capacity for solidarity, accountability and empowered change. The session is strengths-based, future oriented, and focused on skills and strategies, to turn the talk into action.
