Educating

We work with schools to train teachers and with students to challenge prejudice. The anti-racism work we deliver in schools stems from the Education Unit having grown out of a community organising approach. Our aim is not just to educate students on racism, but also to be a catalyst towards positive behavioural change in schools across England and Wales, which can act as a springboard towards a more inclusive society. The overarching aim of the Unit is to enable students to have a holistic understanding of how discrimination works, both in manifestation and in its continuation, and to challenge them on how they can play a role in breaking it.

The problematic art of humanising Muslims

Ramadan is over and with it ends iftars – the meal eaten to break the fast at sunset. The month has become a great tool for those working on interfaith as the number of community iftars grows and activities such as solidarity fasting have become more common. But efforts to humanise a community that is often painted with a broad terrorist brush contains its own pitfalls.
