Black & White Reunion 9th Annual Summit Against Racism
Serena's Journey

Equity, diversity and racism have been the topics of heated debate in our homes, classrooms, workplaces and media. We have HEARD so much about these issues, but have we really THOUGHT about or DEALT with them? No matter where we stand concerning these very important issues, the reality is that we can't ignore them. If we as a society are going to aspire to the heights of fairness and equity that we should, then we must be proactive in our approach to these important topics and to truly be proactive, we must be informed, we must gain insight, we must endeavor to be enlightened.

Introduction

 

RCS interprets Human Rights Education and Anti-Bias training and initiatives through the schema of the Continuum of Change--- Awareness, Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviors (the continuum can be applied to changes at the individual, organizational or systemic levels).

 

The Awareness and Knowledge stages are focused on developing a readiness for positive change, whereas the Attitudes and Behavior stages are geared toward developing skills and strategies that translate the understanding gained in the first two stages into action. The Attitudinal and Behavioral stages also require support in order to increase and sustain positive change.

RCS’s training programs always include 4 basic components:
 
Awareness: of learned prejudices and fears about differences and how these impact organizational culture and professional and personal relationships
 
Knowledge: creating a critical, deeper understanding of the issues of race, discrimination, equity and inclusion
 
Attitudes: developing the necessary skills that integrates newfound and existing values and knowledge into the organization's mission and vision
 
Actions/Behavior: to develop plans to implement the new knowledge, awareness and skills, on both the individual and organizational levels
 
* Each phase has a series of exercises, which allows participants to experience some actual case studies. Embedded in our trainings are a series of ground rules which we live by, primarily, to understand the difference between debate and dialogue, respect for each individual and a willingness to endeavor to make positive change.
