Education for Social Justice Program (ESJP)

Trainings on Education for Social Justice for Adults

The International Step by Step Association (ISSA) has started a new series of training of trainers on Education for Social Justice (ESJ) Program for Adults. The purpose of these trainings is to increase participants' knowledge, understanding, and sensitivity of the mechanisms which perpetuate and maintain systems of oppression and inequity. The trainings address all forms of oppression including racism, sexism, classism, ageism, ableism, religious and linguistic oppression and homophobia. They promote the concept that each person must intervene, challenge, and counter the personal and institutional behaviors that perpetuate systems of oppression. ISSA will train a cohort of new trainers from its member NGOs; educators, psychologists, and psychiatrists who have chosen to work in the program are among the future trainers.

While ISSA has sponsored these trainings to help its members and other educators to promote the understanding of how educational systems may also address inequities in societies, the trainings can be used in multiple contexts outside the educational system education, for instance by training policy makers, social workers, policemen, businesses, etc.
