Parent Seminar: "Changing the World: How Families Do Anti-Bias Work at Home"

Creating more racially just communities begins with the anti-bias work we do at home with our families. Parents and caregivers play a big role in sharing their cultural traditions while building children’s awareness and tolerance of difference. In this engaging workshop, parents will learn about the four goals of anti-bias work, including the development of children’s identities, appreciation for diversity, honoring children’s ideas of fairness and justice, and building children’s activism in standing up for others. Learn some engaging and interactive ideas you can do at home with your children all year long.
