Flashlights is an anti-racism project. It is intentionally designed for people who identify as white to practice engaging in a dialogue about racism. Flashlights holds up a mirror to show the culture that white people inhabit and what could be if we showed up as alternative voices willing to talk and act regarding racism.
Each week participants listen (at their convenience) to a 15-minute podcast exploring racism and join a 60-minute Zoom session. The commitment is 10 hours over the course of ten weeks. The goal is to form an emotional connection, internally and with each other, and to practice, reflect, and incorporate learning.
A facilitator will lead guided discussions and activities related to the podcast, skills and participants’ needs. The trainings are provided at no cost.
The schedule includes 2 cohorts:
- Cohort One: September 5 – November 7, 2023
- Tuesdays, 3 – 4 pm (CT)
- Access the registration page for more details.
- Cohort Two: September 7 – November 9, 2023
- Thursdays, 1 – 2 pm (CT)
- Access the registration page for more details.
Please note: Space is still available. Everyone must register for a ‘waitlist’ before receiving additional information from organizers.
Graduates of Flashlights are invited to join a Flashlights community of practice that meets monthly to continue practicing and sharing resources.
