About the sessions
The course is designed to provide the opportunity to explore the impact of racism past and present. The various ways racism manifests including examples of racial microaggressions and language, including the history of the more common words associated with racism.
The lived experiences of the facilitators will be shared with plenty of opportunities for discussion and interaction. Topics covered will include systemic racism and the effect this has on certain communities. There will be opportunities to reflect on influences in society and ideas on moving forward towards being an anti-racist society.
Course aims:
- Increase confidence, awareness and knowledge to promote race equality and tackle discrimination in society.
- Raise the awareness of subtle forms of racism, microaggressions and other sensitive themes in a safe space and through open and honest discussions.
