Race & Racism
and our Kids
Thursday, April 15, 2021 * 7:00pm to 8:15pm
Let's Talk about Race & Racism
It can be hard to talk to your children about racism. Some parents worry about exposing their children to issues like racism and discrimination at an early age.
Others shy away from talking about something they themselves might not fully understand or don’t feel comfortable discussing. Yet others, especially those who have experienced racism, simply do not have such choices.
Conversations about racism and discrimination will look different for each family. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, the science is clear: the earlier parents start the conversation with their children the better.
Learn about other cultures
This 75-minute workshop is a conversation about race and how families can talk about racism with our kids, including anti-racism and inclusion awareness.
