Join the RACE TALKS Conversation
Each month, RACE TALKS hosts a forum with a panel of educators and/or experts on a topic focused on ethnicity and racial elements in Oregon history and our current timeline. Our aim is to provide context, education, and learning opportunities that support and promote the development of intercultural sensitivity and racial identity.
Mark your calendar and join us at one (or all three) of our monthly programming events:
- 3rd Wednesday of each month from 6P-8PM: “Community + Conversations” (BIPOC only)
- 3rd Thursday of each month from 6:45PM-9:15PM: “Monthly Community Forum – includes panelist and breakout affinity rooms”
- Last Friday of each month from 5:30PM: “Karaoke + Conversations” (18 years+)
Please visit our Upcoming Events page to register.
