Our third online workshop was first held in April with a full house, and again in June at the request of a nearby school district that hopes to eventually train every staff and faculty member on this essential topic.
“Thank you for giving us hope and tools to be the "Change" our society needs.”

Culture & Communication Workshop: February 2021
All 27 participants rated the workshop "high" or "very high" for relevance and quality. A few of their comments are listed below.
Activities included live polls, communication exercises, video clips, readings, breakout discussions, and sharing of personal cultural objects.

who is not at the table.
* Appreciate all the content, history, and discussions.
* I enjoyed our time together and learned a lot!
* Eye opening, thought provoking, honest, collaborative,
refreshing, meaningful and necessary.

The Reality of Race Workshop: April & June 2021
"The entire workshop was excellent, and I highly recommend it! I thought the program developers and facilitators have truly understood how to break down the topic of race with facts, all the while highlighting the importance of (and demonstrating themselves) thoughtfulness, acknowledgement, and respect. Anchoring this program is a true understanding of how to start and continue conversations about race. Bravo Team UnityWorks!"

Our second online workshop was sold out with 35 educators enrolled! Participants included principals, teachers, school counselors, parapros and other staff
from districts across Washington State.
