TCS Speaker Series
Talking to Youth About Current Events with Rosetta Lee
Join Diversity Speaker and Trainer Rosetta Lee on Thurs., Feb. 8, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. in the The Children’s School’s Gym to learn how to talk to your kids about current events. The event is open and free to everyone in the Atlanta area, so please invite friends, neighbors, and family!
Young people bear witness to challenging or traumatic events in current events, media, and our local communities. Their thoughts, feelings, and reactions enter school spaces whether we introduce conversations or not. Adults have a natural instinct to protect our children from harsh realities and yet prepare them to navigate this complex world. Is it possible to do both?
During the event, you’ll learn to:
Talk about identity, difference, and justice in age-appropriate ways
Reinforce school values without shutting down perspectives
Facilitate authentic and respectful dialogue across difference
