(*Note: Make-up date is May 12 in the event that a previous evening is canceled due to inclement weather or for any other reason. Please reserve May 12 on your calendar as well.)Location: TBD (Asheville area)This session will only be offered in-person - no virtual option is available at this time. We hope to be able to provide this option for future sessions of Building Bridges.Each nine-week Building Bridges session offers education and dialogue about the dynamics of racism and is an opportunity to explore how race has impacted our relationships, communities, and institutions, particularly in Asheville. It is also an opportunity to foster antiracism in ourselves and in our community.Our program will consist of large group learning (panels, discussions, videos) and facilitated small groups. A person must be registered to participate.Registration Pricing: The cost to register for our in-person nine-week session (22.5 hours) is based on the dates below. A participant workbook PDF will accompany the program; it will be emailed to participants just before opening night.Early Bird Registration: February 8 - February 15: $110General Registration: February 16 - March 10: $135A note about fees: We know this is transformative work. If you value what we do and can afford to pay more than the basic registration price, we hope you'll consider making a donation on our website at bbavl.org, or sponsoring an Access Scholarship (see below). Together, we can increase equity in Asheville and the greater Western North Carolina region.Each participant must register separately in advance: We ask for some information about you to help ensure that each small group has a broad range of lived experience.Access Scholarships: We want Building Bridges sessions to be accessible to all community members. If your health and well-being are negatively impacted by societal structures, you are eligible for an Access Scholarship with Building Bridges. Our goal is that no one who experiences negative impacts as results of Structural Determinants of Health (see definition below) will be turned away from participation in our program.“The structural determinants of health are 1) the written and unwritten rules that create, maintain, or eliminate durable and hierarchical patterns of advantage among socially constructed groups in the conditions that affect health, and 2) the manifestation of power relations in that people and groups with more power based on current social structures work—implicitly and explicitly—to maintain their advantage by reinforcing or modifying these rules.” (Heller, et al., 2024).If you would like to be considered for an Access Scholarship, please contact registration@bbavl.org.If you would like to sponsor an Access Scholarship, please click here (bbavl.org/donate) and add the note "Access Scholarship" to your donation.Session Workbook: Our participant workbook is 150+ pages. An email with our digital PDF workbook will be provided just before opening night. If you are not comfortable reading a PDF on your device, you may save the pdf and have it printed locally (at a place like Staples or FedEx, cost is approximately $25). If digital reading is a barrier for you and you are unable to print the manual, please contact registration@bbavl.org.COVID Precautions: Masking will be optional but we will make masks available free of charge to anyone who feels more comfortable wearing a mask.
