December 3-5, 2010: WHITES CONFRONTING RACISM
A TRAINING FOR CHANGE WORKSHOP
PHILADEPHIA AREA LOCATION
www.trainingforchange.org
ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
This workshop is for white people who want to challenge the racism around them — and in their own heads and hearts — and who are searching for a way to strengthen their work for racial justice. It’s for white folks who already do anti-racism work but want to develop their skills and deepen their approach. And it’s for white folks who want a better understanding of how white privilege and racism operate in society and inside of them.
IN A NONJUDGEMENTAL, SUPPORTIVE SETTING, PARTICIPANTS WILL…
Build confidence in their ability to address racism through action;
Increase their understanding of how racism functions and what their role in it is;
Explore their internal racism and barriers to working on it;
Develop a personal vision for racial justice;
Build their skills in being accountable allies to people of color and working in coalitions;
Develop strategies for interrupting racist situations;
Increase their ability to support other white people doing racial justice work;
Build an action plan of concrete next steps.
