Talking with Kids About Racism
With the Peace & Justice Center
Tuesdays Online, 10/13, 10/20, 10/27, 6-8pm
Talking about race and racism can be difficult -- especially with children, but that does not mean we shouldn't have these conversations. This three-part program facilitated by the Peace & Justice Center and hosted by the MRV Libraries is for all people concerned about the impact of racism and/or white privilege on children. Learn tools to discuss these issues with children in a meaningful and age-appropriate way through resources, discussion, and role playing. Participants are expected to attend all three sessions unless other arrangements are made in advance with the facilitators. Registration is required and space is limited. Please visit moretownlibrary.com to sign up.
