A Guide to Workshops on Challenging Racism.
Zanda, Antoinette
This handbook, which is designed for people experienced in facilitating workshops, contains materials for/about planning and conducting popular education workshops on challenging racism. Presented first are guidelines for using the handbook, a rationale for the proposed approach to unlearning racism, and guidelines for guarding against abuse during workshops on challenging racism and for planning workshops. Discussed in the next four sections are the following topics: setting up a workshop (introducing participants; deciding what participants can expect and contribute; setting objectives, identifying assumptions, and setting the workshop's tone; logistics; ground rules; process observing; and coping with emotions and fears about racism); components of racism (contextualizing racism historically, heritage, one theory on how racism works, attitudes, personal power, discrimination, ideology of superiority, dominant group power, and results of racism and oppression); strategies for change (building strategies, working against oppression in groups, developing strategies to achieve change in organizations and communities, and building allies and working against internalized oppression); and workshop closure (debriefing emotions, follow-up, and evaluations). The final section contains the following supportive information: two workshop models; list of four levels of how humans relate; model of how individuals learn; practical guide to fighting racism; information on support groups, 22 suggested readings, and working definitions/concepts.
