Thank you for the opportunity to submit this request to work its leaders. My understanding, based on our conversation, is that the Equity and Social Justice Commission is seeking to provide a half day in person session sometime in September or October on a Saturday. Included in this proposal is a description of the recommended workshop, costs, logistics, and next steps. If the below workshop is not what you are seeking, please let me know and we can discuss other options. I've also included a separate document that tells you more about Cultures Connecting. Cultures Connecting takes a human centered approach. We recognize the fears, worries, and concerns that come with leaning into courageous conversations about race. Meeting leaders where they are rather than shaming or blaming them into understanding is central to our Foundational Beliefs around Diversity, Equity, Inclusions, and Belonging (DEIB). If you have questions or other ideas, and would like to discuss this in further detail, feel free to reach out to me at caprice.hollins@culturesconnecting.com to schedule a time to talk. Respectfully, Caprice D Hollins, Psy.D. Co -Founder Cultures Connecting, LLC 1 CulturesConnecting.com 6/20/2023 CULTURES CONNECTING Cultures Connecting Addressing Race Relations in the 21st Century Workshop Descriptions Framework for Social Justice: Addressing Race Relations in the 21st Century In this session, participants learn a framework and common language for developing an equity lens. We explore what we all need to do to effectively engage across cultures and undo systems of oppression. This framework considers the importance of deepening awareness of self—moving from color blindness to racial cognizance; increasing knowledge of others and their experiences with systems of oppression; developing skills to effectively engage across cultures; and advocating and taking action to dismantle institutional racism and other forms of oppression. Objectives—Participants will: 1) Gain shared understanding of key terms. 2) Learn a framework for the work needed to engage effectively across cultures and undo systems of oppression. 3) Begin to explore how they were socialized around race, racism, and race relations. Cost All workshops are based on half day or full day fees. We do not charge hourly. Half day sessions are 3 hours. This includes a 15 -minute break. Our fees include prep time, ongoing use of our power point and handouts, and travel within King County. We have an equity model that takes into consideration different costs for nonprofit versus for profit organizations. You arrange the location of the workshop. The facilitator will arrive 30-45 minutes early to set up the room. The in-person fee for a half-day session on Saturday is $6,500. Policies and Practices Leading with Race We use race as a model to guide people through diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) work. While our focus is on race, what participants learn will apply to age, ability, gender, sexual orientation, class, socio economic status, religion, and other marginalized group experiences. Recording the Session Any recording of a session must be discussed with the facilitator in advance and must have the consent of all participants. There is an additional fee in most cases depending on usage. Cancellations Cultures Connecting has a 45 -day cancellation policy. Once the date is confirmed by both parties, we will hold this date for you. If you cancel with the 45 days, you will be billed for half the cost of the workshop. This is not a credit towards rebooking but rather the fee for loss of work. Exceptions are made for cancellations outside of your control due to e.g., weather, COVID, etc. 2 CulturesConnecting.com 6/20/2023 CULTURES CONNECTING Cultures Connecting Addressing Race Relations in the 21st Century Next Steps: Scheduling If you decide to work with Cultures Connecting, the next step is determining the date.
