Lets Talk about Race
About this Event

Local Health and Care staff are invited to a half-day introductory workshop "Let's talk about race".

This short session is designed to encourage participants to openly explore the issues that inhibit discussions about race. It recognises that not being able to engage in a discussion about ‘race’ can severely hinder our efforts to do anything about racism. From the onset, this programme intends to create a collaborative and discursive space, and participants are encouraged to bring (without) judgment and to process what has previously held them back.

At the end of the short workshop, learners would have:

Engaged in discussions that help them to understand some of the barriers that prevent engagement in discussions about race.
engaged in discussions about race and racism – overcoming the hesitancy and ‘fear’ that can inhibit their understanding and participation.
moved beyond discomfort and dealt with resistance and be more able to continue their learning journey.
