Wednesday, January 23: 10 am - 2 pm - Youth Curriculum Training
Christ Church Cathedral
$85
In January 2016, the Diocese of Atlanta began the work of creating a youth curriculum for young people grades 6-12 centered around dismantling racism and becoming beloved community. The curriculum was produced by the Office of Youth Ministries in collaboration with the Absalom Jones Center for Racial Healing. The curriculum includes 6 lessons that cover Diversity, The History, White Privilege, Internalized Oppression, and Steps to Racial Healing. Each lesson plan comes with a video and other multi-media materials.
If you have completed dismantling racism training offered by a diocese of The Episcopal Church, you do not need to take the training being offered on Tuesday. You will only need to attend the youth curriculum training offered all day Wednesday. If you have not completed dismantling racism training, you must do so in your diocese or on Tuesday with Dr. Catherine Meeks.
The first day of training will be the Standard Dismantling Racism Training used in the Diocese of Atlanta. It will be first come first serve for the training with Dr. Catherine Meeks, Executive Director of the Center for Racial Healing. Other trainers will be available to meet demand as needed.
The second day of training will be the Youth Curriculum Training led by the writers of the curriculum, Sally Ulrey and Katie McRee. Other trainers will be available to meet demand as needed.
The goal of the trainings will be to equip those that work with youth to understand the subject matter and to use this curriculum in their dioceses and parishes. At the training, you will receive a 1 training manual and 1 student journal. You will place your order for additional manuals and student journals at the training that you will receive within 30 days.
