This July, CURE is making our structural racism foundations workshop material available for racial equity practitioners to use within their own organizations, government agencies or consulting practices. Having trained dozens of nonprofits and government agencies in racial justice concepts through our Understanding Institutional and Structural Racism (UISR) workshop, CURE’s train-the-trainer workshop will allow you to train others in building foundational knowledge of institutional and structural racism. After this 3-day virtual workshop, you’ll be able to use our facilitator materials to build supportive spaces for groups to understand how structural racism operates in organizations and in society.
“Tough and thought-provoking questions, breakout sessions, a thorough training that took the time to allow folks to share and learn.”
