North Puget Sound Conference on Race - Partnering for Social Justice
Sat, April 28, 8:30am-4:00pm
Edmonds Community College, Woodway Hall
A unique opportunity for students, community members, educators and employers to learn about and discuss how rapidly increasing cultural, linguistic and racial diversity is changing our communities and the lives we share in them. Rapid change often challenges our ability to adjust, both as individuals and as members of larger groups, such as schools, churches or business organizations. How does the concept of "race" affect our lives together? How do racism and other forms of prejudice based on culture, language or socio-economic status result in the exclusion of those who are vital to our collective ability to prosper in an increasingly inter-connected and competitive world economy?
