Penumbra conducts a dynamic artist-led strategic planning process that realizes our future as a center for racial healing. A successful strategic planning process will be based on the quality, depth, and breadth of artist, staff, board, and community engagement; completed program/curriculum and business/infrastructure outputs; and the effective use of resources applied. 2: Penumbra's artist-led equity training program helps participants explore how race shapes our opportunities, success, safety and circumstances Participants will: have a better understanding of how racism works and is experienced; understand that it is important to see difference; have a better understanding of how stereotypes influence our thinking and action consciously and unconsciously.
We advanced key planning activities and engaged over 400 constituencies to provide critical feedback on our evolution as a center for racial healing. Listening circles, surveys, focus groups, interviews, workshops. 2: We engaged over 1,000 participants at Minnesota-based universities, corporations, and professional associations in racial equity training. Intake reports, surveys, facilitator reports, client interviews.
