About this Event

Halloween can be a time of fun and creativity, but it also provides an important teaching moment to address cultural sensitivity, equity, and respect. In this workshop, educators, parents, and more will explore how to engage students and families in conversations around cultural appropriation, appreciation, and the biases that sometimes emerge during Halloween festivities.
We’ll delve into the concept of “Cultures aren’t Costumes” and provide ideas that invite conversation around decorations, themes, costume parades, celebrations, and more.
Participants will leave equipped with the knowledge to create an inclusive, safe, respectful Halloween environment, fostering meaningful learning opportunities.
This virtual event is designed for educators, classroom staff, families, and all seeking an equity-based approach to celebrating Halloween.
Participants will:
- Learn how to engage in conversations on navigating cultural appropriation, cultural appreciation, and bias surrounding Halloween.
- Explore thoughtful approaches to Halloween activities through a lens of equity that promotes inclusivity and respect.
- Discover ways to reimagine Halloween celebration practices that focus on community and belonging, emphasizing the importance of celebrating responsibly and inclusively.
