Let's Talk: Building our Shared Table Tickets, Thursday, Jun 4 from 6 pm to 8 pm

Overview

Join the Community Changemakers for a workshop about how we can 'build longer tables not higher walls' through inclusion at Kairos.

Let's Talk: Anti-Racism Series

What does an inclusive community look and feel like?

How can we 'build longer tables not higher walls' in practice?

Come along to this free workshop to have a collaborative discussion about what inclusion looks like in practice at Kairos and in our communities. We will be thinking about misinformation in the media and how we can have caring conversations with our friends, families and communities about migration. Our Community Changemakers have put together a session full of activities that explore these issues in a supportive environment.

We will have a conversation and then eat a meal together (vegetarian) at our 'shared table'. Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements.

This event is open to all women+ whether or not you'd like to share your experiences, as part of our Community Learning series exploring anti-racism We will be looking at a different theme every programme season so please share your ideas for our next theme!

A creche and BSL interpretation can be provided at this event, please indicate if you require this when booking.

We recognise that this topic may bring up difficult experiences for people so just a reminder to look after yourselves and each other throughout the workshop. If there is anything we can do to make this event comfortable for you, please reach out and let us know.
