Curriculum development

Past offerings have included such topics as developing personal narratives, uncovering purpose, mattering, freedom dreaming, community planning, design thinking, community/global impact, personal storytelling, and racial healing. Additionally, the PRI and community partners have begun development of The Peoples’ Curriculum On Social Studies!
racial healing circles & healing centered methodolgies
PRI will facilitate Racial Healing Circles and training on the TRHT Racial Healing Framework and other Healing Centered Methodologies. Racial Healing and Healing Centered Methodologies provide us tools and processes for celebrating our common humanity, acknowledging the truths from our shared history, and recognizing our collective potential. Through racial healing, we can forge deep, meaningful relationships, lay the groundwork to transform broken systems, and bridge divides to transform communities.
The Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) Youth Institute is an adaptation of the globally recognized Truth and Reconciliation Commission concept, developed in partnership with Project Restore Initiative, The Praxis Institute, and TRHT Greater Chicago. TRHT aims to get rid of the false belief in a hierarchy of human value and replace that with an appreciation for the equal and interconnected nature of the human family.
The TRHT Youth Institute expands the community of healers by training, empowering, and emboldening youth, youth workers, & community practitioners in order to be agents in the creation of individual and collective wellbeing.
