Dismantling Adultism Training
What does it mean to be an adult ally?
Adultism is a form of oppression that privileges adults over youth and children. It is a way of thinking and behaving that perpetuates age-based stereotypes that limit the potential for intergenerational power-building. The Chicago Freedom School aims to encourage more adults to become advocates for youth who engage in various leadership roles in their communities. This training will help adults learn more about how to dismantle adultism culturally, institutionally, interpersonally, and personally. Participants will be challenged to learn what they can do to be an ally to young people. This workshop is intended for adults who are working with youth in schools, neighborhoods, organizations, and places of worship.
