Session 3 of 3

Join us for the foundational workshop tailored for childcare and welfare 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 this third workshop, learn to recognize and address anti-Black racism in childcare settings, while understanding its impact on the well-being of Black children. You will also also explore strategies for developing culturally sensitive communication, integrating inclusive curriculum, and fostering allyship.

Finally, this workshop will give you the tools to promote equitable and inclusive learning environments for all children based on the principles of "How Does Learning Happen."

This session will have virtual and in-person options. The in-person sessions may be switched to virtual if there is not enough demand.
