Fundamentals of Facilitation for Racial Justice Work July 22, 2013

Are you looking for new ways to facilitate dialogue and action to deal with racism and pursue racial justice? Do you find it challenging to work with folks who have different understandings of the issues, different lived experiences and different notions about what to do? Have you ever been stopped in your tracks by a meeting participant’s comment? You ask yourself, “What’s the best way to handle this?! Should I answer the question? Get the person to talk more? Get the group to handle the issue? Something else entirely?”

In this two-day learning laboratory, we will explore a variety of collaborative methods that will enable you to foster engagement, participation and authentic connections that yield productive conversations and solid agreements.

This workshop is designed for participants who have a strong working familiarity with racial justice concepts such as institutional and structural racism, racial justice framing and privilege. The workshop assumes this working knowledge and is not an appropriate learning environment for individuals for whom this is new material.
