The events of the past year have underscored the inequities in our systems and highlighted the need for us to re-examine the practices in the work we do as international educators, especially the work we do, or do not do to combat racism. As we tackle racism it is important to learn how to be uncomfortable with conversations on this topic. This discomfort is part of the healing. By learning to work through the guilt and shame without utilizing defensiveness, dismissal, aggression or apathy, participants will become empowered to interrupt racism. Through the course of this workshop, participants will:

• Gain a better understanding of the systemic nature of racism and how it manifests into biases
• Explore and identify how to replace racist actions with antiracist ones 
• Learn how to show up better for their families, friends, students, colleagues, and leadership
