A discussion about the lived reality of racism in secondary schools and how we can work as a community to challenge it. With Dr Muna Abdi, Melissa Simmonds, Monica Stone and secondary school students from Sheffield and Rotherham.
Recent events in the US and the UK have pushed social justice to the forefront of national conversations about education. While efforts across the country to ‘decolonise the curriculum’ are a much-needed step in the right direction, they are a small aspect of a wider solution to the issues of racism in education, which impact so many students every day. For individuals working within education, or parents with children going through secondary school, understanding the issues, and considering practical everyday solutions is an important step forward.
In this event, you will hear directly from members of the local education community. They'll share their unique perspective on racism in schools and discuss how to move forwards together. After the discussion, questions and comments from the audience will be welcomed and discussed by the panel.
