October 22nd: UnConference: Race Equity in Practice

On October, 22, 2022 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Trying Together in partnership with The Frick Pittsburgh will co-host Unconference: Race Equity and Practice.

Keynote speaker Dr. Rose Marie Allen will be presenting “Aware is Only Halfway There: Concrete Strategies for Supporting Children’s Racial Identity Development. Are you Ready?” Dr. Allen will discuss how awareness of racial equity is important, but not enough.

This workshop will deepen the participants’ equity journey moving them from theory to practice, from awareness to implementation. Participants will engage in activities that support the racial identity development of young children including strategies and techniques that can be implemented at the classroom level. This active workshop will help participants assess their readiness to create an anti-racist/anti-bias classroom, identify culturally responsive and culturally sustaining practices, identify stages of racial awareness for young children and develop concrete strategies for promoting racial identity development in children.

Following the keynote, there will be two workshop rounds. Sessions will focus on race equity in practice in the early childhood education (ECE) field. This Unconference will include a variety of ways that ECE staff can support and advocate for more racially equitable programs through play, literacy, environment, and more.

Tickets are $65 and registration is open through October 19, 2022:
