About the session

This workshop took place Wednesday 9 December 2020, 12-2pm AEDT.

In this two hour session Elsa will discuss her experiences working in racial justice and living her identities through performance, and provide a 1.5hr teaser version of Hue’s 101 antiracism training. This workshop is interactive and for all knowledge levels, designed to develop shared understandings and vocabulary about what racism is and its impacts. The training is developed from strengths based, peer-to-peer learning frameworks and uses facilitated conversations to develop understanding together. This workshop is part of a multiple workshop training series that you can find more about at http://hue.org.au/workshops
