Training Overview

The Racial Equity Institute’s two-day Phase 1 training is designed to develop the capacity of participants to better understand racism in its institutional and structural forms. Moving away from a focus on personal bigotry and bias, this workshop presents a historical, cultural and structural analysis of racism. With shared language and a clearer understanding of how institutions and systems are producing unjust and inequitable outcomes, participants should leave the training better equipped to begin to work for change.

Who Should Attend

This training is open to local health department staff in North Carolina.

Participants in this training should be willing and able to dedicate two full days (9 a.m.-5 p.m.) of active engagement for a virtual workshop. Specifically, participants will need to:

• Have working camera and audio.
• Commit to being on camera and audio at all times during the training.
• Attend both days.

Additionally, participants should:

• Be involved in equity work already.
• Preferably have completed an REI Groundwater session prior to the Phase I workshop (recommended but not required).
