PAST x PRESENT x FUTURE: A Decolonization Workshop for the Philippine Diaspora | New York City

About this event

The workshop will be anchored around three pillars:

PAST (Know Thyself): The process of decolonization begins with learning (sometimes, unlearning) truths about our collective history and how the forces of the past have shaped the present. (Main format: Didactic, multimedia instruction)

PRESENT (Heal Thyself): The process continues with articulating our collective and individual presents and exploring activities that exercise empathy for others and for ourselves. (Main format: Small-group breakout discussions, grounding & empathy exercises)

FUTURE (Grow Thyself): With a fuller sense of self, the workshop culminates with a discussion on how to become actively anti-racist, better allies, and take concrete steps in co-creating a more equitable world for all. (Main format: Interactive discussions with facilitation)
