Greetings to all,

We hope you are all staying healthy and well. Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto invites all African/Black Early Childhood Educators or in Early Childhood Education working across Canada to participate in a focus group.

The purpose of this study:

1: To investigate the impact of COVID-19 on African/Black individuals and communities, front line health care workers and essential service workers and how systemic/structural violence are barriers to effective prevention, treatment and management of COVID-19 in the African/Black population.

2: To identify strategies to respond effectively to the impact of COVID-19 on African/Black individuals, communities, front line health service workers and essential service workers in Canada and transnationally.

3: To create knowledge exchange opportunities to enhance government, institutional, community and individual responses to the impact of COVID-19 on African/Black individuals, communities, front line health care workers and essential service workers in Canada and transnationally.

Warm Regards,

Team African Centre for Early Childhood Education Village (ACECEV)
