Anti-Racism Workshops
Working with the BC Aboriginal Education Partners, Anti-Racism Consultant Eric Wong, and the Anti-Racism Leadership Network, FNESC provides a variety of anti-racism workshops and services. All of this work is intended to make BC schools racism-free and places where diversity is respected, with an emphasis on countering racism experienced by Aboriginal people in the education system. Visit our anti-racism page for information about workshops, anti-racism toolkit and local anti-racism contact people.
