Understanding Anti-Racism Workshop

February 15th & February 22nd

Program generously sponsored by BC Housing

BCNPHA is offering a two-part workshop series to build content knowledge in anti-racism and deepen participants’ understanding of how systems, like housing, are informed by systemic racism. During these sessions, participants will examine concepts like race, racism, and white supremacy in Canada, while also engaging in critical self-reflection and dialogue. In this interactive session, we ask that you come prepared to be fully present, to demonstrate vulnerability, to avoid multitasking, and ready to engage in thoughtful dialogue with fellow group members. It is a session for those who are ready to do a deeper dive into Understanding Anti-Racism.

These workshops are facilitated by Dr. Erica Nicole Griffin and Dr. Jamie Patrice Joanou of Monday Morning Consultants. As principals, Jamie and Erica Nicole combine over 30 years of experience in anti-racism education change management, including research, pedagogy, and non-profit consulting to this work.

This workshop is capped at 25 participants so that we can create an interactive learning environment.

Registering for this session will register you for both Part 1 and Part 2 – registrants are expected to attend both parts of the session.

Part 1: February 15, 2024 9am – 12pm PST
Part 2: February 22, 2024 9am -12pm PST

What you will learn:
