识别偏见，学会应对——Rise & Resist 亚裔青少年主题活动圆满举行
12 月 6 日周六下午，二十余位来自 Livingston 及周边社区的亚裔初高中学生参加了由 Livingston 华协主办、AAPI New Jersey 专业讲师带来的 “识别偏见，学会应对——Rise & Resist” 青少年主题活动。本次讲座内容充实、形式生动有趣，孩子们全程保持高度投入，在互动中获得了宝贵的能力与信心。
讲座由 AAPI NJ 资深讲师 Shaira 主讲。她以轻松的游戏开场，迅速拉近与学生之间的距离，让现场气氛变得轻松自在；随后结合校园生活中的实际案例，引导孩子们理解何为偏见、刻板印象与“微歧视”（microaggressions），以及这些行为为什么会在日常中带来伤害。
在讲座的核心部分，Shaira 介绍了 RISE 四步骤方法：
Recognize（识别）、Interrupt（打断）、Speak（表达）、Empower（赋能）。
学生们通过情境练习与讨论，学习如何在面对不当言行时保持冷静、清晰、尊重，同时保护自己，并在需要时支持身边的人。由于活动设计贴近青少年的校园生活，每个环节都引起热烈反响，现场互动不断，学生们展现出高度参与度。
活动结束后的 pizza party 让孩子们继续交流心得，也让彼此之间建立了更多连接。
家长们的反馈同样十分积极。来自画家 严伟飆 的分享让我们倍感鼓舞：
“我大女儿去了，她说这个活动很好，团结初中生和高中生，学习如何反歧视。说明你们办得很成功，加油👏”
这样的鼓励再次印证了举办这类活动的意义——帮助孩子们在多元的社区中更有力量、更有自信地成长，也为他们营造一个彼此支持、相互理解的环境。
Livingston 华协将继续努力，为本地青少年带来更多有益、有意义的学习机会。
Rise & Resist – Asian American Youth Workshop Successfully Held in Livingston
On Saturday, December 6, more than twenty Asian American middle and high school students attended the Rise & Resist workshop at the Livingston Senior/Community Center, hosted by the Livingston Chinese Association and led by trainers from AAPI New Jersey.
The workshop, conducted as one combined group, was lively, engaging, and highly relatable. Trainer Shaira opened with an interactive game that energized the room and helped students connect. Using real-life examples, she explained how bias, stereotypes, and microaggressions appear in everyday life and why they can be harmful. Students remained focused and actively participated throughout the session.
A highlight of the workshop was the introduction of the RISE framework—Recognize, Interrupt, Speak, Empower—which gave students practical tools to respond to insensitive or discriminatory moments in clear, respectful, and confident ways.
Afterward, students continued their conversations during a pizza party, building new connections and sharing what they learned.
Parents also offered positive feedback. Artist Wei Biao Yan shared:
“My older daughter said the workshop was excellent. It brought middle and high school students together and taught them how to stand against discrimination. This shows how successful the event was—great job!”
The Livingston Chinese Association is proud to support programs that empower Asian American youth with knowledge, confidence, and community.
