BPC is excited to host Shalek Chappill-Nichols of Parents Place (a program of JFCS’ Center for Children and Youth) to talk about how families do anti-bias work at home.
Creating more racially-just communities begins with the anti-bias work we do at home with our families. Parents and caregivers play a big role in sharing their own cultural traditions, while building children’s awareness and tolerance of difference. In this engaging workshop, parents will learn about the four goals of anti-bias work, including development of children’s identities, appreciation for diversity, honoring children’s ideas of fairness and justice, and building children’s activism in standing up for others. Learn some engaging and interactive ideas you can do at home with your children all year long. • Check out an article by our speaker, Shalek Chappill-Nichols: Creating an Anti-bias Early Education Community • More articles and resources about parenting and race
