Upcoming Events

Talking about Race with Children: Why It Matters and How to Start Doing It

Date: October 17, 2022

Time: 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Location: Wellesley Middle School - Cafeteria

RSVP

Talking to young children about racism, anti-racism and bias can be daunting, even for parents who have experience with these issues in other contexts. Feeling ill equipped to engage is common, but waiting until children are developmentally ready for adult discussions misses an important window, since the roots of racism and bias can start extremely early. Come learn about the impact on children and how to get started with teachable moments for children from preschool through middle school age. The event will be led by Meredith Moore from the group Kids for Racial Justice.

Light refreshments to be provided. For more questions and information please contact info@worldofwellesley.org
