FNESC works in partnership with the BC Aboriginal Education
Partners Group, as well as with experienced Anti-Racism Consultant, Eric Wong,
to address the racism experienced by Aboriginal people in the education system.
Anti-Racism Workshops
The overall intent of all of the FNESC sponsored Anti-Racism workshops is to
provide participants with the knowledge and tools to prevent discrimination
and create schools and communities that value diversity. The workshops are
lead by Eric Wong, FNESC Anti-Racism Consultant, who has in the past presented
workshops to groups ranging from elementary school aged children to teachers
and professional bus drivers. Descriptions of possible workshops are listed
below, but if you have a specific idea or audience and would like to discuss
developing a workshop that meets your school or community’s unique
needs, please contact Eric Wong or the FNESC office.
