Defining US: Equity Learning Series

In partnership with CWK Network

The Defining US Learning Series is designed to provide a deeper awareness and analysis of all topics covered in each of the Defining US documentary’s six (6) segments: The Problem, The Pain, The Potential, The Purpose, The Power, and The Promise. The series focuses on how education, both traditional and non-traditional, can play a pivotal role in developing pathways and solutions to the social issues that make us most human: race, gender, identity, mental health and more. Our self-paced courses expand learning beyond the walls of schools and organizations to bring crucial conversations to the leaders, educators, and organizations that matter. The course includes three (3) modules of interactive learning experiences taking learners through each of the film’s six (6), in-depth segments as videos featuring subject matter experts and youth testimonials. Users will experience active participation through both the videos and text learning experiences with time to reflect, journal and action plan.
