Blink's Saturday workshops are designed to support educators who are striving to engage the cultures and diversities of their schools to create more inclusive communities where each and every person can thrive.
In all Blink workshops, the medium is the message: sessions model guiding questions, techniques and tools that participants can implement in their own classroom, office and community work. ** Summer 2013 Workshop ** To register for a workshop, please download and mail in the registration form with payment.

Equity = Action workshop information and registration flier [PDF] Equity = Action Thurs-Fri, June 27-28, 2013; 9am-3pm at SMART in San Francisco, CA Equity: How a community discerns and enacts fair treatment, opportunity and access to resources for diverse community members. Action: What we do, even when we don't think we're doing anything. Because nice is not enough (Nieto, 2009), we can't just intend equity, we have to do it. And how we strive for equity matters as much as what we do. Designed to empower educators with the understandings, skills and tools to align the intention and impact of their commitments to equity, this workshop is a focused inquiry opportunity for you to connect, reflect and work with others to help diverse children and youth to thrive as learners and leaders in and beyond schools. This workshop is for: teachers, school staff and administrators, mentors, advisors, parents/guardians, coaches, community organizers, and board members of schools and community organizations who work with or for preK-college students. See flier [PDF] for more info. Registration is rolling, and requires two actions:
And please note that Blink is encouraging partner groups to attend. A partner group represents at least two different organizations who attend together with the intention of acting collaboratively for equity (ex: a school and an academic access program, a public school and a private school, a community-based organization and an education-focused foundation). ** Ongoing Workshops ** To register for Blink's "More Than a Pizza Lunch" or "Facilitating for Social Justice" workshops, please contact: alison@rethinkingdiversity.com.

Feel like you're preaching to the choir? Tired of inspiring conversations going nowhere? Frustrated because pizza lunches aren't your idea of making a difference? This two-hour visioning and action planning workshop is for student identity/social justice group leaders and adult sponsors who want to more fully realize the intention and possibilities of their organizations. Through an aspirational and practical discussion of student organizations as individually-driven and institutionally-critical forum for youth voice and action, students and sponsors will identify organizational goals, assets, challenges and actionable plans to realize the groups they want to become — including getting the most out of those pizza lunches! In this workshop, the medium is also the message: Alison and Sara will model inclusive facilitation skills and tools that students and sponsors can use in their own leadership practices. Inclusive Facilitation (formerly Facilitating for Social Justice) Location and date: Your campus, date TBD Be the change you want to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi understood that we cannot strive toward social justice without practicing it. The challenge for educators is not just to lead, but to lead inclusively and equitably, facilitating others to their best thinking and action.
