Transforming racism: understanding its origins (Part 1)

Wednesday 15 July, 6 pm to 7:30 pm:

Transforming racism: understanding racism is a system (Part 2)

Looking around the world that has taken to the streets in protest for the last 25 days (and still counting), we as a society are being called to change. My invitation is to understand the origins of the white race and its impact through a generative dialogue: seeing/hearing/feeling then sharing perceptions.

We will explore:

  • How can we recover from the 400 years of racist history and conditioning ?
  • How can I acknowledge the uncomfortable racial truths?
  • How can I feel their impact on BAME/BIPOC people? On white people? And in our relationships?
  • How to increase racial justice:  not act as a racist?  Share good practice for BIPOC/BAME allies?
