Join Dr. David Campt for a 2-part workshop (March 6 and 13) that will prepare you to use the groundbreaking R.A.C.E. Method of Dialogue to engage in transformative conversations with friends, family, neighbors and colleagues around issues of systemic racism. This 4-hour workshop is broken down into 2 segments. Session 1 (on Mar 6th; 2-4 pm EST) will cover the tenets of unconscious bias and how confession is key to inviting others into learning. Session 2 (Mar 13th; 2-4 pm ET) will refine skills for using storytelling as a method of persuasion. When you register here you will automatically be signed up for both sessions. Be ready for a truly hands-on and practical training that will help you feel prepared and confident moving forward. No prior skills or expertise required. All are welcome.
Subsidized rates are available for those who request it. Please contact us at socialjustice@cuc.ca

His clients have varied widely, and have included the US military, The White House, large corporations, international organizations, foundations, governments, universities, national associations, and non-profit groups.

For this initiative, David has written five workbooks: White Ally Toolkit Workbook, a comprehensive guide for allies to effectively engage in anti-racism dialogue; Discussion Group Leaders Guide, a supplement for the workbook. He has also written two 30 day workbooks for learning the methodology: the Compassionate Warrior Boot Camp for White Allies, and Equipping Antiracism Allies: Unitarian Universalist Edition.
