How do you love your neighbour?

Theme: How can you better manage your fight, flight or freeze responses to co-creating solutions to address racism and white supremacy?
In Collaboration with St. Albert United Church, we’re hosting a “love thy neighbour discussion” on October 16, 2019 from 7-8.30pm
- How comfortable are you in dealing with racial encounters?
- How competent are you in identify and addressing systemic racism?
- How do we better prepare our children, youth and allies to be racially competent?
- Is ignorance an excuse for doing nothing?
- How can be more supportive neighbours to one another?
Our children’s brain development and abilities are compromised due to hateful harassments online and offline, alt-right sentiments, extremist terrorism, and negative nationalistic activities. Let’s begin this brave conversation to tackle this centuries-old challenge for sustainable prosperity.
