Supporting education professionals to use the 'Let’s talk about racial injustice in schools' video resource to promote understanding, reflection and change within their settings.
This interactive Changemakers workshop will introduce the 'Let’s talk about racial injustice in schools' video resource and explore how education professionals can use it to raise awareness of the experiences of Black and mixed-heritage young women in education.
Details
Delivered by a Getaway Girls Changemakers facilitator and young women from Getaway Girls Changemakers and Vocal Girls, this workshop will explore the issues raised in the video resource and encourage education professionals to reflect on their own school settings.
The resource is divided into five sections, each with key messages and questions to support discussion:
Pronounce My Name Right
Don’t Touch My Hair
Treat Me Fairly
Adultification
Safeguarding
The workshop will consider how these issues may affect pupils in your setting and what changes are needed to ensure Black and mixed-heritage young women feel seen, heard, understood and supported.
