Unlearning Classism
Facilitator: Lee Mun Wah

This workshop provides a forum for participants to discover conscious and unconscious ways in which class privilege or classism has affected their lives. It is an experiential workshop and designed to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of our class differences. Participants will explore their Class-based perceptions and issues concerning money and status through personal stories and a variety of diversity exercises.

Participants will:

* Understand why social class is a misunderstood, taboo subject and how social class status intersects with ethnicity and gender.
* Recognize the effects of social class on the personal history, behavior, and attitudes of individuals.
* Listen to and explore personal experiences and perspectives from participants of diverse class and ethnic backgrounds.
* Understand how social class differences can affect relationships, communication, and self-concept.
* Observe facilitation of class conflicts and misunderstandings.
* Compassionately listen to, validate, and acknowledge the socio-emotional impact of classism on an individual, group, and community.
