Upcoming Trainings:
Tell Me the Truth About Racism

A series of upcoming trainings by Will Bouvel and Jen Holt Enriquez will be hosted in three locations in Pennsylvania between April 11th and 12thTell Me the Truth About Racism is a story that frames racism through the lens of Christian faith appropriate for kids 4-104. In this workshop, faith educators will experience one of the stories and have a chance to wonder as one would with kids/grownups. There will be a discussion about how to lay the groundwork with parents before you start, ideas/ examples of how to use these stories in an intergenerational setting, in a day camp setting, and in a traditional Sunday morning Sunday school setting.


We will share the narrative of how this work came about and then tell one story. We will wonder about the story together before a broader discussion to close the workshop. We will make ourselves available for a more casual question-and-answer/ discussion session.
