Looking for support in addressing the recent rise in anti-Asian violence with your students? WNET is holding a free webinar on April 8th to provide educators with tools and strategies for talking to their students about recent events in the context of Asian American history. The webinar will include the Mission US Prisoner in My Homeland game, as well as the PBS Asian Americans series and other public media resources. Cathlin Goulding and Freda Lin of Yuri Education Project (developers of the curriculum for Prisoner in My Homeland) will share strategies and approaches for framing conversations, using writing prompts, and encouraging civil discourse and critical thinking about anti-Asian racism.
