Description

Teen, let's have a discussion about race. We have been fighting three pandemics this past year: COVID, political polarization, and racial reckoning. Although many educators try to avoid hot-button topics from spilling over in their classrooms, it is inevitable because teenagers are anxious about being part of the discussions. Teens need a forum to express themselves freely, which is why we felt compelled to host this event. Teenagers from across Cuyahoga County will participate in interactive activities and discussions about race. They will learn how race does not just affect their communities, but their schools too. We will equip the leaders of tomorrow with the skills to feel comfortable conducting healthy dialogues about the issues they face daily such as race. The Cleveland Foundation funds this fun and free event.
