SUMMARY:Anti-Racism Response Training (ART) Series
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \nRegistration Deadline: June 30\, 2023\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nThis series has been approved by CICC for 8 hours of CPD.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \nOVERVIEW\nThe Anti-Racism Response Training (A.R.T.) program\, developed by Dr. Ishu Ishiyama\, and enhanced and adapted – including virtual adaptation – by Thanh Tazumi\, Naomi L. Wolfe\, & Sanchit Mittal\, uses a witness-centred approach to disrupting racism. This highly interactive and experiential Canadian-based online series will introduce participants to the historical legacies of racism in this country\, provide an overview of key definitions and concepts such as microaggressions\, systemic racism\, white fragility and implicit bias\, and offer tools to develop and strengthen active witnessing skills. The series is designed to be relevant to the audience and encourages participants to shift from being frozen or silent bystanders to becoming active witnesses. In a safe and supported online forum\, participants will practice how they can respond in order to disrupt racism and build safer and more inclusive communities. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \nTRAINING SCHEDULE & DELIVERY\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis training will be delivered via four live Zoom meetings.

If it is important to you and your organization to truly understand the history of racism\, its implications today\, and what to do and say to combat racism\, I highly recommend this training.”- Tanya Cowie\, Vancouver Community College“The Anti-Racism Response Training is engaging\, eye-opening\, and educational. The facilitators' approach of presenting factual information paired with sharing personal stories helped to capture their diverse audience. Reflection exercises not only encouraged participants to examine themselves and racism\, but they also prompted open discussions among participants. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone wanting to start taking steps against racism.”- Carolyn Moi\, Instructor\, Vancouver Community College“As a white\, settler woman with significant privilege\, I knew that I had a lot to learn about racism in Canada and what I could do about it. Participating in this well-designed and delivered training exceeded my expectations over and over! Not only did I learn so much about racism in Canada\, past and present\, I also learned from the presenters and participants about how these experiences have impacted them so significantly. In the training we learned and practiced effective skills to respond to witnessing or experiencing racist encounters. I will no longer be a bystander\, wishing I had the words or confidence to act when I see racism in any form. I can now stand-up and speak-out to address the issue at the time or when it is safe to do so. We must all make the decision and take action to stop racism and the Anti-Racism Response Training program provides the practical skills and confidence to do so!”- Mary Catherine Williams\, Executive Director\, Volunteer Campbell River[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \nFACILITATORS\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row class=”facilitator-row”][vc_column column_padding=”custom-padding” column_custompadding=”0px 50px 20px 0px !important” width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”custom-padding” column_custompadding=”0px 50px 20px 0px !important” width=”3/4″][vc_column_text] \nThanh Tazumi\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A.R.T.
