NONVIOLENCE IN ACTION: Are you ready to make the necessary paradigm shift conducive for sustainable individual and cultural transformation? This Nonviolence365 session will provide participants with The King Center's inward, outward approach to change and transformation. Our Nonviolence365 is a proven strategy for crafting measurable, impactful, equitable, sustainable, and transformative environmental and individual change.

CULTURAL HUMILITY: Training will provide attendees with an opportunity to learn about the role of cultural humility in building The Beloved Community. Attendees will confront their own biases, increase their ability to see from others' viewpoints, and gain an understanding and appreciation for the backgrounds of those who are culturally different.

Eradicating Racism 101: Training session for people who want to do the work of eliminating racism but are unsure of what the job is or how to do it. In this first session on racism, the facilitator and participants discuss the definition of racism; examine how it shows up and the resulting injustices and inhumanity; explore the necessary internal and external work of eradicating racism; and discuss the broad, comprehensive work of eliminating racism.

Eradicating Racism 102: A continuation of 101 and focuses on examining action steps for eliminating racism, from relational situations to systemic racism. Examples are presented and discussed in support of the main objective: To increase understanding of the construction of racism and how to deconstruct it.
