Free
This workshop will provide parents with tools to advocate for their children in the school system when they face racism and bias. We will explore different actors in our children's education, forms of anti-black racism and bias, human rights aspects of discrimination, as well as practical ways to address discrimination when it arises. This is also a great time to network with other parents going through similar experiences.
While the workshop is free, we will accept donations at the door to cover costs of maintaining our website and helping Parents for Diversity to do more workshops and other activities. Note that we are not a charity so cannot provide tax receipts.
