Community Capacity Building

​Facilitating Conversations Across Race & Intersectionality

Facilitating Conversations Across Race & Intersectionality

As part of the inaugural Stoneham Reads Program, the Stoneham CDC, with generous support from the Stoneham Public Library, the Stoneham Rotary Club, Stoneham Bank, and Winchester Hospital, is offering training in Facilitating Conversations Across Race and Intersectionality to Stoneham Reads Facilitators and to representatives from Stoneham organizations and businesses. The training provider is Courageous Conversations Towards Racial Justice. 

The goals of the training are twofold:
1) To support Stoneham Reads facilitators to effectively lead book discussion groups on topics of race and racism, and
2) To provide an opportunity for other community leaders who would like to participate as a means to develop community-wide capacity across organizations to engage in and sustain conversations on racial equity.

The content will include:

    1. Introduction to hosting conversations on race/racism.
    2. Facilitation - what is involved, the pedagogy and practice of facilitation including how it is both different 
        from and similar to teaching, and how to deal with strong emotions that arise during discussions.
    3. Learn more about systemic racism and how to become comfortable with being uncomfortable. 

This will be a shared learning lab experience and will take place in two virtual sessions (via Zoom), totaling seven hours on:

Saturday, March 13, 2021, 9:00-12:30pm
Saturday, March 20, 2021, 9:00-12:30pm

To be eligible to apply you must be 1) a facilitator in the Stoneham Reads program or 2) represent a business, organization, or town entity located in Stoneham. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, March 2, 2021. Space is limited and participants will be expected to attend the full training.
