Small group workshop series this summer and fall!
Have you participated in a Raising Race Conscious Children Workshop/Webinar and want to take the experience a step further?
Do you parent a child of a different racial identity than your own?
Are you new to Raising Race Conscious Children and interested in a supportive, small group workshop to support your skills around talking about race with young children?
Our new Small Group Workshop Series are for you! Participate as an individual or organize a Race Conscious Gathering in your home or workplace:
Sachi Feris and Lori Taliaferro Riddick will work with small groups of up to 10 individuals on a weekly or monthly basis to delve deeper into practicing race conscious strategies as well as receiving structured and supportive feedback on specific questions/scenarios. Consultations last between 3-6 sessions and will range 1-1.5 hours per session.
You may participate as an individual–or organize a customized Race Conscious Gathering in your home and invite up a minimum of 6 individuals (maximum of 10 individuals) to participate as a team of parents/educators committed to racial justice. (Unlike in our webinars, the small group series will have a maximum of ten participants, whether participating as a group or remotely and Sachi/Lori will be in direct contact with your group via webcam so it will function more like a “live” workshop).
The following Small Group Series are currently available:
