Engaging in Bold, Inclusive Conversations® with Young People
It’s back-to-school season! This means that in the midst of a challenging socio-economic climate, young people everywhere are encountering new opportunities, faces, social situations, terminology, and cultural differences. Parents, caretakers, and teachers may be questioning how best to help children and youth make sense of and navigate these differences. We at The Winters Group believe that it’s never too early to start having Bold, Inclusive Conversations® with young people, who bring their own rich experiences and ideas to the table. In this 90-minute Virtual Learning Lab, we as parents, educators, and DEI practitioners will consider effective strategies for bringing age-appropriate learning around equity and inclusion to our homes, to the classroom, and beyond.
