Race, Privilege and Justice Resources

You and your organisation have now participated in a ConnectFutures training on Race, Privilege and Justice, which we hope has provided insight, deepened knowledge, and sparked ideas for practical action in your work with young people, communities and/or practitioners. Our workshop is intended to mark the beginning of a journey in which individual staff and whole educational communities reflect and work together to achieve truly equal and inspiring institutions for all. We have created this portal to curate resources we hope you will find of use. You can also access your certificate. Thank you for working with the ConnectFutures team – we look forward to working with you again!
