What do we mean by Rethinking Normal?
Rethinking the norms of society is a radical act we can all participate in. It allows us to dismantle harmful hierarchies and collaboratively and creatively imagine a new normal.
We equip schools and other organizations with tools to engage in courageous conversation surrounding topics of identity, systemic oppression, and collaborative world-building.

Engage in authentic, transformative conversations

Understand systems of oppression and make critical connections

Gain courage and strategies to disrupt injustice

Our intercultural dialogues help students think critically about their world. Hear what they say!

We also lead workshops for educators!

Facilitating Anti-Oppression Work in the Classroom provides an excellent opportunity to engage with others that are concerned with this all-important work. The facilitators did an excellent job at keeping everyone interested, while maintaining a personal exchange that allowed all participants to feel heard and appreciated throughout. I highly recommend the workshop!
Mike and Marine are excellent facilitators. They created a safe environment which encouraged trust and insightful discussions. The exercises we looked at were hands on and great suggestions were given for application in the classroom.
As an educator focused on social equity and justice, the specific practices and underlying concepts of this workshop has rejuvenated my approach to planning my courses and shown me new, crucially important ways to engage with my students. And it was also a very fun, warm learning environment. I can’t wait to take what I’ve learned into the new semester.
I appreciated that there were clear examples rooted in pedagogy to help implement in the classroom. This workshop was really helpful for rethinking and shifting teacher centered power dynamics in the classroom and creating safe spaces to grow and build community!
