Organization Summary

What We Do: Our collaborative projects use film, dialogue, and the arts to advance whole body learning and radical imagination. We produce documentaries, deliver keynotes, create curricula and racial equity learning modules, facilitate workshops and trainings, and are currently seeking funding to grow our public programming (more information below).

Our Learning Labs and Curricular work is designed to tap into the deep human connection we all share: to educate minds, open hearts, and support radical imagination, all with the intention of catalyzing critical thinking, self-inquiry, transformative learning, healing, and ultimately, change. It is our belief, and our experience, that when organizations are mired in racial tension, when microaggressions are a regular part of life, when people believe that their ability to contribute and to advance is limited by their race or ethnicity, that the organization and everyone in it suffers, no one is able to do their best work. Our workshops and keynotes serve as a compassionate bridge between people of color and white people interested in building a more equitable and inclusive way of being together. We help organizations build the capacity to challenge both the internal and external systems that reinforce racial inequity. Our intention is to support individuals, schools, and institutions nationally and internationally in making an effort to operate as an equitable and anti-racist entity.  We customize programming to build community, establish core principles, examine relationships, teach communication techniques, analyze policies, programs, practices, and processes to empower our partners to do the same.

To date, World Trust has produced 5 documentary films that work to disentangle internal beliefs, attitudes, and pre-judgments and facilitate new conversations and skills to have more authentic conversations about race and other issues of power
