Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
To put on your calendar, Homa Tavangar will host a NESA webinar on Building Racial Literacy and Building Human Empathy, November 10, 2020 | 4:00-5:00pm (Athens, GMT+3). Below is a brief description and guiding question for the webinar.
The BIG Question: How can we reimagine justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in our schools and for our children?
At this crucial moment in the movement for racial justice around the world, how can schools move beyond the semblance of diversity and inclusion into centers of justice and equity that nurture, encourage and safeguard all of their students? This dynamic session will explore how key terms like diversity and empathy are used generously in schools with little examination of the conditions necessary to bring either to full expression. In addition to building racial literacy, this session integrates live music and storytelling to stimulate empathy and activate the imagination needed to transform our educational environments - and nurture meaningful conversations at home.
