EVENTS FOR EQUITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
Learn & Laugh
Connection: the first step to understanding.
To combat racism, we must get to know each other. Events help us do that. They allow us to share perspectives, cultures and traditions. Plus, they’re fun! You can dance, sing, watch movies, you name it – while connecting with community members.
You're Invited!
Celebrate the variety of cultures that makes Northeast Wisconsin a more interesting place to live.

Philosophers' Café
Philosophers’ Cafés are public forums held at local coffee shops and pubs where community members engage in open, friendly and respectful dialogue in a relaxed and informal setting.
