Race, racism and antiracism: Definitions and concepts

Sometimes we just need to go back to basics to understand what we mean when we talk about race, racism and antiracism. Especially if this knowledge has not be included in our own schooling, in our initial training or continuing professional development as teachers and leaders. This interactive session meets you where you are to provide firm foundations to:

• Understand what race is, where it came from as a concept and how it influences our lives today
• Explore the concepts and expressions of individual, institutional, structural and systemic racism
• Unpack these concepts through examples of how they come into play in our schools
• Help you to define and design the ways in which you will be working towards becoming an anti-racist organisation

Who can apply?
