  • Define each component of the CCAR Protocol;
  • Understand the personal and interpersonal purpose of each part of the Protocol;
  • Apply Protocol when analysing and developing meaning around current and critical events;
  • Apply Protocol when engaging with personal and professional associates;
  • Utilise the Protocol to guide others in developing racial consciousness and productive racial discourse;
  • Consistently engage in self-reflection and mindfulness to process through racialised fears, triggers and obstacles;
  • Craft, expand, and articulate his/her Racial AutobiographyTM

Feedback

Working to become an active practitioner of Courageous Conversation About RaceTM requires participants to engage authentic, honest, and courageous self-reflection. Without this depth of openness, participants will be unable to achieve the racial consciousness, racial discourse, and internalisation of Protocol necessary to enact the optimum skills of an Affiliate Practitioner. Participants seeking CCAR Practitioner training must be open to intensive coaching. This coaching will position participants to engage with intentional excavation of their socialised racial dysconsciousness to develop the critical racial consciousness necessary to promote highly effective facilitation of conversations about race.
