Our work with schools
We work with schools to help them:
understand the effect that prejudice, stereotyping and bias has on minority students
take racism seriously as a safeguarding issue
explore ways that everyone (including teachers) can call out racist behaviour and ensure all incidents are dealt with
develop better, more enlightened citizens
We can offer a few different types of sessions:
Teacher training
We offer anti-racism training sessions for teachers.
Drama sessions
We use a technique called forum theatre. During these sessions, we ask minority students to describe incidents that they’ve experienced, and then re-enact them using actors. We’ll then offer suggestions about how the scenarios could have played out differently.
Student-lead sessions
Affinity groups are student-lead sessions where students of colour can connect, share experiences, have a voice, and find solidarity. We are on hand to offer support, but e content of these sessions is developed by the students themselves. They decide how they want to communicate their experiences and how we can empower them.
Bespoke events and training
We’re happy to work with you to create bespoke training and events for your school.
