KCK schools plan summer conference on diversity and inclusion

The Department of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion with the KCKPS School District will hold a free conference on Thursday, July 21, at Carl B. Bruce Middle School, 2100 N. 18th, Kansas City, Kansas.

The first annual DEI+ Summer Conference, entitled “When You See Me… Voices from the Field,” is about helping individuals express themselves, learn how to be an ally, advocate for others and be empowered while navigating multicultural spaces, according to a district spokesman.

The conference will feature influential Kansas City-area community leaders, KCKPS students, and dynamic keynote speakers who will share their journeys, successes and challenges as a person of diversity.

The conference’s goal is to help close the gap between groups critical to successful children’s education in the Kansas City community, the spokesman stated.

There will be three breakout sessions in which attendees will discuss the five DEI domains. They include multigenerational differences, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, language and culture and persons with disabilities.

The one-day conference will begin at 8:30 a.m. and wrap up around 3 p.m. A light breakfast will be served; however, lunch will not be provided. Instead, food trucks will be available to purchase lunch.

Kansas City area high school students and adults are invited. Persons must be registered to attend.
