Are you an anti-racist practitioner?
The anti-racism journey is not linear, and a large part of this includes being racially literate.
Racial literacy is the skills, knowledge, and social awareness needed to talk mindfully about race and racism. This naturally includes terms such as race, racism, prejudice, ally, upstander, and so on.​​
​
Through a range of interactive discussions and practical activities, we will explore language, and wellbeing strategies to enhance cultural sensitivity and belonging.
By booking training and consultancy services with Harvey Heals, you'll develop the skills, knowledge, and vocabulary to deepen your understanding of race and the impact of racism.
​
​​Knowing what to say, understanding the impact of your words, and grasping the complexities of race and racism can be confusing. This course will help rectify this.
But most importantly, being an anti-racist practitioner requires consistent action, not just words.
Why should you consider this work?
​
Here's what the research says:
​​
-

The world we live in is constantly evolving, and there are a significant number of phrases, and social nuances, that often arise linked to race and racism.
​
By taking part in this practical and engaging course, you will be equipped with key vocabulary to meaningfully talk about the impact of racism, be more empathetic towards your community, and understand the importance of creating safe spaces in your setting, to develop a sense of belonging for global majority individuals.
