On 25 November 2021, the EWC held an online event giving education professionals a chance to learn about ways to promote racial equity and put inclusive and anti-racist practice into action in their settings.
Co-chaired by Dr Susan Davis and Chantelle Haughton of BAMEed Network Wales, the event explored the inspirational and innovative work being done across Wales to:
- integrate the lived experiences and contributions of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic peoples in the new curriculum
- support educators in dealing with issues surrounding race
- work towards diversifying the education workforce; and
- promote positive culture change and anti-racist practice across education settings.
Held in partnership with BAMEed Network Wales and Educators Wales, the three-hour event featured a keynote from Professor Charlotte Williams OBE, and a fascinating talk with Sathnam Sanghera, author of bestseller The Boy with the Topknot. It also included powerful contributions from Uzo Iwobi OBE, Abu-Bakr Madden Al-Shabazz, Show Racism the Red Card and Mount Stuart Primary School.
The event will inform the development of a series of twilight sessions which will take place early in 2022.
