Trainings are structured learning sessions—often multi-part or ongoing—that build specific, targeted skills in anti-oppressive practice, culturally sustaining pedagogy, and inclusive leadership.
Think of them as a curriculum rather than a single session, allowing participants to master concepts over time, reflect on real-world applications, and receive ongoing feedback.
