RACE—Do you talk about it much?

New Conversations About Race and Racism

We haven’t quite learned how to bridge the racial divide in our community - but we can! Facing race isn’t an easy thing to do. Fortunately, we’re in this together, and together, we can create a community where everyone is safe, valued, and respected.

Talking about race and racism can be the first step. New Conversations About Race and Racism is a selffacilitated discussion tool that can help groups begin the discussion. It illustrates behaviors and assumptions about race and racism and gives participants opportunities to explore the topic in a non -threatening environment. 

You will learn skills to share personal histories, assume good intent in uncomfortable interactions, and address real-life situations.

New Conversations is FREE to individuals and organizations.
