Challenging Racial Bias in the Classroom

WWGS and Ubuntu are delighted to present Challenging Racial Bias in the Classroom with Susanna Trifiletti. This is a full day workshop taking place in the De la Salle Retreat Centre in Castletown from 10.30am-3.30pm. Places are limited to 20.

This workshop aims to equip educators with practical strategies and tools to address and respond to microaggressions and racial prejudice in the classroom. This interactive session will focus on the following key objectives:

  1. Understanding the roots of racial discrimination and systematic racism.
  2. Learning how to tackle microaggressions in the classroom in real-time effectively.
  3. Developing the ability to choose appropriate facilitation stances in different classroom situations.
  4. Engaging in case studies and real-life role-play scenarios to practice and refine responses.
