Racism is on the rise both online and all over the world. It’s hurting Black, Indigenous and other people of colour and many are protesting it at great risk to themselves. Meanwhile parents are wondering what they can do to ensure their kids are prepared when they are exposed to harmful racial biases or racist beliefs and ideologies. It’s not enough to assume the world has progressed enough since our youth – it’s not safe to assume our children will naturally adopt non-racist values. As parents we need to take an active role in the social and political education of our children. This workshop is designed to help parents and caregivers understand how bias operates within us and our children and how we can interrupt and challenge it.
