December 6 - 10, 2006 in Tucson, AZ The Social Justice Training Institute provides a forum for the professional and personal development of social justice educators and practitioners to expand and refine their skills and competencies in designing and facilitating diversity awareness experiences. SJTI is a developmental experience that will involve personal work. Past participants have found SJTI to be an intense experience as we work to understand the dynamics and effects of race and racism and as we engage in authentic dialogue arcoss and within race groups. If you are looking for training tools, exercises, or "how to" activities - SJTI might not be for you. While participants do bring articles and activities to share with colleagues, the focus of the institute is personal work. http://www.sjti.org
