Session 1 of 3. Join us for this foundational workshop tailored for childcare professionals, exploring systemic issues affecting Black communities in Canada. This is a 3-part series providing professional learning opportunities to the early years and child care sector to identify, acknowledge, and confront anti-Black racism, in order to encourage changes in attitudes and prompt more inclusive behaviours.In our first workshop, we will outline the historical context and legacy of colonialism, with a particular focus on its impact on Black communities, shedding light on the disparities and injustices that persist.We will review the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and reflect on the gaps between legislation and the realities experienced by Black children.Through interactive discussions and reflective activities, we will critically examine the gaps between human rights legislation and the lived experiences of Black children, fostering a deeper understanding of the systemic inequalities that continue to affect their well-being.This workshop series will have online and in-person sessions.
All session will be held from 9am-12pm EST
