Anti-Racism in Deep Adaptation - Jem Bendell & Nonty Sabic in conversation
Channel: Jem Bendell
Date: 06/10/2020

This conversation took place as part of ongoing discussions initiated by the Diversity and Decolonising Circle in the Deep Adaptation Forum. Among other activities, this circle is currently preparing an anti-racism training that is being offered to key participants in the Forum, with the intention of making its spaces safer for everyone, especially Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPoC). This training will be facilitated by Nonty C. Sabic, an educator in this field.
