This curriculum was originally designed for a full-day in-person workshop for 20-25 people, but the material can be adapted for almost any situation, like showing one or two charts to a few people during lunch, or holding a one-hour version of the workshop for a small group. All of us need to figure out the best ways we can use the curriculum in our communities to promote discussion about runaway inequality.
The workbook and Small Group Activity method it uses have been field-tested all over the country and they work, but you’re free to use the materials the way that works best for you and your group. Let us know what has worked for you at info@runawayinequality.org
