About us
Show Racism the Red Card is the UK’s leading anti-racist education charity. Our campaign works within schools, workplaces, community organisations, and professional and amateur sporting environments to spread the message of active anti-racism. We provide the knowledge, skills, and support for learners to leave a session confident in their abilities to recognise, respond to, and report racism wherever they encounter it.

About the session
The purpose of the upcoming session is to expand your understanding of some of the core concepts of anti-racism. To do this, we will use a range of case studies, centred upon testimonies of people with lived experience of racism. You will be supported and encouraged in small groups to reflect on these case studies, using the anti-racist terms and concepts introduced within the session, and then collaboratively discuss potential responses. Ultimately, our goal is to grow your confidence to talk about race and racism, and ensure you are comfortable challenging it.

About our approach
Participants can be assured that we create a supportive and empathetic learning environment. All conversations during the session will be facilitated by experienced anti-racist educators who will work tirelessly to ensure that everyone feels included
and at ease wherever possible. Whilst we encourage participation throughout, there is no pressure on individuals to speak, and no-one is here to catch anyone out.
