The Collective Assessment of Racial Dialogue program is one curriculum created under the Allied Cultures Against Discrimination. Its primary aim is to address the issues surrounding the general public when it comes to racism, discrimination and prejudice through a safe medium whereby these issues are discussed.  CARD is designed to provide a forum for all individuals to partake in a friendly discussion on the aforementioned issues surrounding their lives, and the lives of others.

When compared to our mission statement, the section that states “establish ground for anti-racism among all individuals” is the cornerstone with which CARD was established. This program allows all individuals to partake in a friendly discussion all the while learning something new about each other, as well as about themselves. It gives them the ability to globalize further into a rapidly diversifying society in the 21st Century. The CARD program gives a forum for individuals to interact in this informative “open forum” in a suitable environment to do so – a group setting where they are all treated with respect and everyone receives equal recognition.

With the CARD program, ACAD wants to primarily serve the population that is both untouched and ignored. This consists of people who have struggled with racism and discrimination, those victimized by it, proponents of it and the like. This program is open to all peoples and all beliefs as it will adhere to its population’s stance on the aforementioned issues.

The purpose of this program includes facilitating the general public about subjects which are useful to their daily and personal lives, such as those of discrimination and racism. We will accomplish this by holding a continuous set of open forum nights which will allow people to come together for the purpose of meaningful interaction. This seminar will provide adults as well as adolescents an opportunity to discuss issues among racism and discrimination that are taking place in their life in a safe and supportive environment.
