From UFE on the workshop:

“United for a Fair Economy has designed a very effective set of presentations and workshops called “The Growing Divide: Inequality and the Roots of Economic Insecurity.” . . .  The Workshop includes:

An overview of the massive income and wealth shift of the last 25 years.

  • An opportunity to discuss the effects of gross inequality on our lives and the lives of the people we know and care about.
  • A discussion of the reasons for the shift.
  • An inspirational review of movements in the U.S. that have reversed previous trends toward inequality.
  • An opportunity to discuss strategy and meaningful action responses.
  • An opportunity to think about concrete steps that make sense for each of us.

The workshop uses a number of participatory and problem-solving activities as well as a series of flip charts to illustrate the meaning behind the numbers.The ideal size for a workshop is 20-30 people. The workshop lasts from 90 minutes to 3 hours, however, presentations can vary in length. Larger groups may appreciate the presentation format. Programs are available on a sliding scale fee basis.
