Multicultural Differences in America Awareness with Andrea Swinton

Andrea Swinton, of Education Resources for Living, hosts Multicultural Differences in America Awareness Sessions to bring people together in a culture of knowledge, wonder, and freedom. The framework she presents allows people to be themselves and engage in conversations that are sometimes complex yet new and inviting. Many people return to participate in additional Awareness sessions. Participants who are interested in taking MDAA to the next level participate in our MDA In Depth workshops.

MDA In Depth is for those interested in having a direct impact on race relations beyond Awareness. 

Registration is required through the MDAA website. The group will be meeting at Big Blue Marble the 2nd Tuesday of every month - they meet at other locations in the area throughout each month.
