Free Constructing Civic Dialogues Workshops

Join Vo Vo for free trainings and workshops for building trauma-informed practices and anti-racist organizational culture, running April to June 2024.

This year’s workshop series looks at de-escalation, communication, cultures of care, and recognizing professional capacities. These free workshops are held with the intention of building a loose cohort and provide mentorship opportunities for people in anti-racist organizational or consultation work. You may schedule free 1-on-1 consultation and mentorship time also. The goal is to pass on all lived and embodied knowledge to current and future practitioners.

Every session is open to the public, with closed captioning, and ASL upon request. No need to register!

All trainings and workshops will be at this Zoom link:
