Bigfoot’s ‘Anti Racism’ workshop has been specially researched and designed by our Senior Educator Adrian Benn in order to provide KS2 pupils with a safe forum to explore how important it is for us all to be more than just “not racist”.
Writer Audre Lorde’s statement “it is not our differences that divide us; it is our inability to recognise, accept, and celebrate those differences”, underpins the workshop by giving pupils the opportunity to recognise the role they have to play in changing society through education, intention and courage.
We will help children understand that, although we all have some prejudices and privileges that can leave us with ‘blind spots’ when it comes to other people’s journeys, being actively anti racist can make a real difference. Therefore, it is our aim to give pupils a safe and creative space in which to learn about and discuss racism and the forms it takes, as well as how racist beliefs are formed in order to challenge racial inequalities.
We can deliver 1-hour workshops to 5 selected classes of 30 children over one day.
KS1 workshops are based on diversity and celebrating differences.
Schools can also opt to receive an end of day teacher twilight session.
