Introduction: Greetings from Training 4 Transformation. An effective way to confront bias and rebuild a shared vision of community is through our training workshops. They are multi-faceted and dynamic using diverse formats that maximize engagement, sharing and learning. Together, participants explore how cultural, religious and racial stereotypes influence our beliefs and its impact on communities.
Our trainers are certified in conflict transformation, plurilingual, and have lived or worked internationally while maintaining roots locally. The purpose of our virtual workshops is to confront bias, humanize our collective experiences and transform traumatic events into healing opportunities.

Bringing the history of our communities to the front and providing the voices of those injured by the laws and those who enforce it. We will be providing background as to the history of police violence within our BIPOC communities and the systemic racism buried in the laws and those meant to protect and enforce the law.
By bringing voices of our community that have been affected by the profiling and undue racism in our community, we put a face to a story, creating empathy and a visual persona to these stories. In doing so the lived experiences of our community are finally heard and the goal is to educate others and push the narrative to allow growth and redemption in our communities.
