Workshops
CSWAC’s Learning Series offers workshops of interest to the public, each includes the following features below. We also offer workshops and other opportunities to organizations and groups. To learn more, click here.
PLATFORM
Our workshops take place using the Zoom online conferencing software.
FACILITATION
Each workshop is conducted by a team of CSWAC facilitators who are also racial justice activists with a history as organizers working in cross-racial alliances.
SCHEDULE of SESSIONS
Each workshop meets virtually in 3 sessions of 2 hours each for a total of 6 hours.
Virtual sessions are scheduled a week apart on the same day of the week. For example, a workshop that begins on a Tuesday will hold the second session at the same time on the following Tuesday, and then the third and final session at the same time on the Tuesday following that.
Workshop sessions are live via Zoom. When possible, we list out the starting time by time zone (Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific). But when an app or display only allows for a single time, then times are given in Eastern time.
Live virtual attendance is not mandatory, but we strongly encourage you to attend the live zoom session.
All virtual workshop sessions are recorded, and the recording will be made available after each meeting for viewing by registered workshop participants only. Recordings remain available for six weeks following the close of each workshop.
REGISTRATION
The registration fee covers one registration only. To register groups, please contact the registration assistant at catherineklebl@gmail.com.

We provide homework assignments to be carried out between sessions. Homework is optional and is not graded, but it may be a focus of review and discussion at the start of the next session.
