Application Deadline:  April 6, 2007

What is the Social Justice Training Institute?
The Social Justice Training Institute provides a forum for the professional and
personal development of social justice educators and practitioners to expand
and refine their skills and competencies in designing and facilitating
diversity awareness experiences.

SJTI is a developmental experience that will involve personal work. Past
participants have found SJTI to be an intense experience as we work to
understand the dynamics and effects of race and racism and as we engage in
authentic dialogue across and within race groups.

If you are looking for training tools, exercises, or "how to" activities - SJTI
might not be for you. While participants do bring articles and activities to
share with colleagues, the focus of the institute is personal work.

Institute Format
The Social Justice Training Institute will provide an intensive developmental
opportunity for social justice educators to examine the complex dynamics of
RACE AND RACISM and to focus on how to develop their personal competencies as
trainers and practitioners.
