Educating Out Racism: Practical Tools for Race Equity in Education

Organised by the founder of Educating Out Racism and equity educator Laila El-Metoui, this event aims to provide practical tools to achieve race equity and improve belonging in education.

The half day programme, sponsored by the LGBTQ+ business network myGwork, will explore race equity in education through an intersectional lens. The half-day workshop will help provide answers to the following questions:

• How can education providers ensure inclusivity and a sense of belonging in educational settings?
• Why/how do micro-aggressions and racism play out within learning environments, and what can we do to combat it?
• How can education providers work more intersectionally?

BELONGING IN EDUCATION

Education training experts and panellists include Debbie Weekes-Bernard, Deputy Mayor of London for Social Integration; Dr Nafisah Graham Brown, Head of Life Skills and Community at ELATT; anti-bias trainer Rosa Arias-Yague; Rachel Carey-Harper from Tools for Racial Justice; and Rebecca Adams from the London Metropolitan Archives.

The free virtual event will take place on 25th February 2022.  Click here to find out more.
