Participate in a group workshop (pre- and post-exhibit)
Pacific Science Center and the City of Seattle Race and Social Justice Initiative (RSJI) are recruiting groups of all kinds and sizes in
King, Snohomish and Pierce Counties to participate in free group workshops about the
RACE
exhibit.
Businesses, non-profits, PTSAs, faith-based organizations, neighborhood associations, youth groups and other groups from the
community are invited to participate in these pre- and post-exhibit workshops. These experiences are designed for groups to use the
exhibit to expand and apply their understanding of racial equity in their own communities.
Each group workshop includes two sessions:
• A 75-minute pre-exhibit session to learn more about what you will see. How do you define race? How many races are there?
Where do our ideas about race come from? How has race affected our lives?
• A two-hour post-exhibit session to reflect on the exhibit and explore the reality of race in our own groups and communities.
Which parts of the exhibit impacted you most? What do we know about the impact of race in education, health and criminal
justice in the Seattle area? How can we take action to achieve racial equity in our groups and communities?
Group workshops are free to groups who experience the exhibit. Pacific Science Center is committed to making the
RACE
exhibit
experience affordable for everyone who would like to engage with it. Discounted group admission rates are available to all groups
of 10 or more who make advanced reservations. If you are concerned that your workshop group will not be able to cover the cost
of admission, please contact Diana Falchuk at the Race and Social Justice Initiative to discuss ways that we can make your group’s
participation possible:
