Schools are home to young people from many backgrounds who seek answers to the myriad of questions surrounding identity, race and religion.
In order to foster an environment of honest inquiry and healthy discussion, we must provide students with tools to unpack some of today’s most important issues with nuance. We must show them how to unravel the complexities surrounding hot topics so they can be better informed citizens of the world.
Workshops will be conducted in person and/or online.
The cost is $500* and includes all workshops. Each workshop is 90 minutes and appropriate for educators who teach middle and high school students in parochial and non-parochial environments.
