Talking To Our Children About Racism

11 October 2024

A few weeks ago, we had an evening talk from Mpula Lawton from the ARISE project, who we’ve been lucky enough to have working with us on our Anti-Racism activities over the last few years.

The talk was a really useful guide on how to discuss race and racism with children, which we think everyone in the school community can learn from. You can catch up on the talk in the video below.

You can read more about our Anti-Racism work, and see more videos from Mpula, in the Anti-Racism Resources page of the website.
