FNESC works in partnership with the BC Aboriginal Education Partners Group to address the racism experienced by Aboriginal people in the education system.
Anti-Racism Workshops
The overall intent of all of the Anti-Racism workshops is to provide participants with the knowledge and tools to prevent discrimination and create education systems that value diversity. If you would like to discuss coordinating a workshop that meets your education organization or school’s unique needs, please contact Eric Wong, FNESC Anti-Racism Consultant at 604-873-4095 or ericdwong@telus.net or the FNESC office info@fnesc.ca or phone 1-877-422-3672.
