Location: This is a remote training via Zoom.
The Decoding Whiteness: Racial Justice for a Re-imagined World course provides a critical opportunity for white people to deepen their understanding of equity, diversity, and inclusion, and learn how to embody that work in everyday life in multiple contexts.
The prominent opportunity in this project is community building and behavior change. We will explore decoding whiteness as a foundational move toward more effective engagement in anti-racism practices and behaviors. This is a primer to better prepare white people to engage in conversations with and dialogue supporting Indigenous, Black, and people of color. We will build capacity to work together toward shared goals for a more livable and just society and environmental movement.
Specifically, the goals of this program include:
Program Fees: Program tuition is $750. Once payment has been received, an email will be sent with details to complete your registration and prepare for your course.
Scholarship: CDE offers scholarships on a limited basis. To apply for a scholarship, please contact Jody at operations@cdeinspires.org.
Space is limited to 20 participants.

"This was the most supportive and nurturing experience I've had where a group of white people come together to decode whiteness and commit to anti-racism."———————
"It made me think about who I am and what I can do in my world to try to create a more just society. It was a shared space to critically think about whiteness and its impact on me personally and relationally."
