We are proud to share that our students have begun participating in Anti-Racism Workshops delivered by Show Racism the Red Card, the UK's leading anti-racism education charity. These workshops, organised by our Cultural Capital and Personal Development Coordinator Lucy Evans, equip students from various disciplines with the knowledge and skills to identify, understand, and challenge racism. By promoting empathy and proactive measures, we are fostering a more inclusive and just community. Additional workshops will be held later this year, extending the opportunity to even more students. #DiversityAndInclusion #StudentEngagement #ShowRacismTheRedCard #BHM
