Workshops

Introducing Children to Diversity and Difference

Starting at a young age, children can notice differences in gender, skin color, and abilities. Acknowledging differences can lead to difficult conversations, but also provide a valuable learning opportunity. We're holding a workshop on Feb. 25 to reflect on ways to celebrate differences and facilitate these conversations with children.

Exposing young children to cultural awareness from an early age is extremely important for their development and understanding about diversity. All Our Kin Ed Coach Amoulifie Souffrant will host a workshop for Stamford and Nowalk educators on Feb. 28, sharing ways to introduce diversity to young children through engaging learning activities.

To register, please contact Jessica Palencia at jessicap@allourkin.org or call 203-800-8386
