识别偏见，学会应对- Rise & Resist 亚裔青少年主题活动

11/20/2025 1:07 pm

 

Rise & Resist
 A Community Program for Asian American Youth

If you’re a middle or high school student who has ever felt targeted by bias, stereotypes, or “jokes” that don’t feel so funny, we invite you to sign up for the Rise & Resist workshop. If you’re a parent, we encourage you to share this opportunity with your child and help them register.

This interactive workshop will be led by trainers from AAPI New Jersey and co-hosted by the Livingston Chinese Association, and is designed specifically for Asian American middle and high school students. During the workshop:

  • Middle school and high school students will split into two separate groups so discussions and activities can be tailored to their age and experiences;

  • In a safe and supportive space, students will:

    • Learn what microaggressions are and how they can show up in everyday comments and behavior, and why they can be harmful;

    • Be introduced to the RISE framework—Recognize, Interrupt, Speak, Empower—and practice using these steps in real-life scenarios in ways that are calm, clear, respectful, and protective of themselves;

    • Explore identity, empathy, and concrete strategies through real examples and small-group activities, so they can better take care of their own feelings and show up for their peers.

We hope students will go back to school with new understanding, practical tools they can actually use, and more courage in their hearts—along with a stronger sense of connection and support with their peers, so they know they don’t have to face these moments alone.

📅 Date & Time: Saturday, December 6, 3:30 PM-6：00PM
📍 Location: Livingston Senior/Community Center
  204 Hillside Avenue, Livingston
🎯 Who: Asian American middle & high school students (students will work in two separate groups)
🍕 At the end, both groups will come together for a pizza party, with pizza, drinks, and snacks provided.

识别偏见，学会应对 - Rise & Resist

如果你也担心孩子在学校会遇到偏见、刻板印象，或者一些“玩笑”其实让人很不舒服，却一时不知道该怎么回应、怎么求助，欢迎帮他们报名参加 Rise & Resist 亚裔青少年主题活动。

本次活动由 AAPI New Jersey 的专业讲师主讲，Livingston 华协协办，专为亚裔初中和高中生设计。活动中：

  • 初中生、高中生会分成两个小组，分别讨论、练习，内容和难度会更贴近各自的年龄阶段

  • 孩子们将在安全、支持性的环境中：

    • 了解什么是“微歧视”（microaggressions），以及它在日常言行中为什么会带来伤害；

    • 接触并练习 RISE 四个步骤（Recognize 识别、Interrupt 打断、Speak 表达、Empower 赋能），通过情景练习，尝试用冷静、清晰、又尊重他人的方式来回应不合适的言行，同时保护好自己；

    • 结合真实案例和小组讨论，思考自我认同和共情能力，练习在困难的时刻既照顾好自己的感受，也学会支持身边的同学。

       

我们希望孩子们回到校园时，带着新学到的知识和应对技巧，心里多一点踏实的勇气，也和同龄人之间多一份理解和支持，在需要的时候能彼此站出来。

📅 时间：12月6日（周六）下午 3:30-6:00PM

204 Hillside Avenue, Livingston
