Welcoming Diversity — A Workshop with Carrie Stewart

Please join us on Friday evening (15 February 2013) and on Saturday (16 February 2013) for Welcoming Diversity with Carrie Stewart.

Modeled on the Prejudice Reduction Workshops of the National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI), this workshop will cover the following objectives:

  • To celebrate similarities and differences,
  • To recognize the misinformation that people have learned about various groups,
  • To identify and heal from internalized oppression-the discrimination members of an oppressed group target at themselves and each other,
  • To claim pride in group identity,
  • To understand the personal impact of discrimination through the telling of stories, and
  • To learn hands-on tools for dealing effectively with bigoted comments and behavior.

The workshop will happen on Friday (15 February 2013) from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM and Saturday (16 February 2013) from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Working from the understanding that “Guilt is the glue that cements prejudice in place,” this workshop teaches us ways to move forward in a positive and affirming way.
