About this event

September Session Times: September 10 (9-5pm), September 11 (9-5pm) and September 12 (9-1pm)

Description:

What can I do? It’s a common question we hear in response to racial events that show up in the news and occur in our own communities.

At CEI, we believe people need a place to talk about race, tools to navigate these sometimes uncomfortable conversations, a place to learn how to recognize and interrupt patterns of privilege and oppression, and an understanding around their personal responsibility in advancing racial equity. In response, we offer Reframing Racism, a transformative process designed to help folks become more racially conscious individuals who understand how racism operates and what they can do about it.

During this training series, participants will:

  • Explore how race was constructed
  • Build a racial vocabulary
  • Analyze current events
  • Build connections and community

This workshop will include:

  • Facilitated dialogue and discussion
  • Experiential learning activities
  • Additional readings, viewings, and resources*
  • Racial affinity group participation

CEI will gladly issue a completion certificate that participants may use for professional development credits. Participants must work with their own certifying bodies for acceptance.

CEI requires participants to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and/or to show proof of a negative COVID test taken no earlier than 48 hours prior to training starting.

*All participants will receive a complimentary copy of Hanif Fazal's book, An Other World.
