Ejecting Internalised Racism

30 May 2023 – This is an online handout for Training 3 for the International School of Geneva.

  • How do we exernalise the system and reject it?
    • How do we separate the system from our identities?
    • How do we separate our biases from our intentions?
    • How do we separate the history of our people from our identities?
  • What does this process look or feel like?
  • What does the system impact mobility issues in Third Culture Kids?
  • What small things can we do to counter the system?
