As Above, So Below: Creating Equitable and Transformational Organizational Cultures and Structures

September 1, 2020 @ 4:00 am - September 3, 2020 @ 3:59 am

At World Trust we are receiving a flood of requests for basic racial equity workshops and we are fulfilling them to the best of our ability. We also know that many of you are well beyond the basics, and are now seeing opportunities in your organizations to make deeper and more lasting change.

In that spirit, and to accommodate that need, we are offering a 2-day virtual Learning Lab in September: As Above, So Below: Creating Equitable and Transformational Organizational Cultures and Structures. You can read a full description HERE.

The goal of these online Learning Lab sessions is to provide you with revitalized and more expanded anti-racist and equity analyses and orientations for your workplace or organization. We will strengthen your capacities in key transformational areas through the practices of radical imagination, collective health-focused strategies, and creative storytelling. These transformational areas are both the roots and the branches needed to heal and address the collective issues of inequity and lack of imagination we face.

This Learning Lab is for advanced changemakers. It assumes you have basic understandings of and practice in addressing write supremacy and structural racism.

We encourage you to attend with as many people from your organization as you can. You will spend time working in small groups on your issues, your organizations, so if there are several of you, you can work together. And if you are coming alone, you will not be alone (there are others who are coming alone).
