Centering Hope and Social Action: Encouraging Our Students to Work Towards Change

The history of our Country is one of horrific terror, trauma, and pain.  However, it is also one of resistance, resilience, and hope.  For years, people throughout history and in current times have worked together to dismantle institutionalized and interpersonal racism.   One of the most powerful things we can do is create space for our children to process what is happening in the world and to feel, imagine, and take action in a way that allows them to learn from the resistance as a way to create paths of action for the future.  In this workshop, educators will walk away with a framework for thinking about social action with their students and concrete ways in which to support their children to know that their voices and actions matter in creating change.
