Are you worried about the pervasiveness of racism in New Zealand? Do you struggle with knowing how to handle racist comments and conversations when they are happening around you?

Learn to engage with racism in ways that make space for meaningful change and minimise defensive reactions. In this workshop you will get a chance to:


1) Develop a criteria so that you can make quick decisions as to when intervention from you is necessary
2) Practice having types of conversations that have the potential to challenge racism in a way that is productive
3) Focus on how we can have loving relationships that also hold people accountable when they have views that can hurt people.

In the current climate of genocide and the erosion of rights for tangata whenua, having the skills to hold anti-racist conversations is perhaps more important than ever before, you will leave this workshop feeling more empowered to hold these types of conversations.
