Online Workshops

Our online workshops are designed for individuals and organizations in the early stages of equity work as well as those looking to deepen their antiracism practice. We give people the tools and skills to take on issues like privilege, structural racism, and white supremacy.

Our racial equity and racial justice workshops are rooted in participatory learning and popular education. We go deeper than typical diversity, equity, and inclusion trainings to help people frame complex issues, think through real-life examples, and develop concrete solutions.

Workshops include access to online lesson videos to watch at your own pace. We also include coursework with resource guides, reflections, and exercises to try at home. Workshops culminate in an online discussion to connect with other participants committed to equity. 

Online workshop series last 4 - 6 weeks and are offered on a rotating basis. We also occasionally offer one-time online discussions where we go deeper into some of our favorite topics.

Racial Equity Starts at Home: Talking about Race with Kids

How do we talk about race and equity with our kids? How do we teach kids to see color? And how do we do any of this as overworked and overwhelmed parents and caregivers? This workshop series explores how to have meaningful conversations about racial equity with kids. We share strategies for teaching antiracism and how we can take action in our families.

Building a Better White Ally

How do we cultivate relationships rooted in trust, care, and mutuality? What does it take to build solidarity that leads to collective action? This online workshop series explores how to deepen antiracism by deepening relationships. Picking up where our recent Building Relationships for Racial Solidarity Workbook left off, we discuss how to go beyond allyship and foster authentic multiracial partnerships. 

Building Equitable and Antiracist Workplaces

Many organizations have scaled back their equity efforts while others never got beyond public statements or the occasional DEI committee meeting. What does lasting change look like and how do organizations make real progress toward racial equity? This workshop series looks at how to embed equity into your organization and commit to the hard work of antiracism—when you don’t have the support of everyone in your office.

    Our PTA worked with Elizabeth and Kristina to host a virtual racial equity workshop with our school community. They were able to present a framework that allowed the participants to understand the many historical moments and factors that led to the present times we are facing. They also shared tools on how to move forward at home and as a community.

  • What People Are Saying

    I highly recommend Septima Project‘s workshop Building Equitable and Antiracist Organizations. Although the work of antiracism in our institutions is a long road that we must be equip ourselves for a long journey within—this workshop is giving me a compass.

  • What People Are Saying

    I appreciated how relatable you both were, both in the videos and in person for the discussion. You helped to normalize uncomfortable feelings and create connection. I wasn't sure what to expect of the discussion and it far exceeded my hope or expectation.

  • What People Are Saying

    I found this course very helpful. It helped me put in place concepts and ideas that were just boomeranging around in my head. Now, I feel more confident talking about race—not just with kids but with adults.

  • What People are Saying

    I was thankful that I attended the event You Need More People: Building Relationships & Solidarity for Racial Equity. Drawing from personal experience, and modeling vulnerability, Kristina and Elizabeth did a great job of examining the importance of building multiracial relationships as an essential component in deepening antiracism work.
