Lovely to be part of this. An anti-racist education builds an anti-racist society to the benefit of everyone - it is the pathway to peaceful relations in our communities.

@educatorsforpeace.bsky.social launched the first of our webinar series of professional development last night. Great to so many teachers/educators engage with us on the need to address the rise of #racism & the #FarRight, including challenging conversations dealt with compassion and humanity.

There's been a huge response to this, showing how many educators want to engage with this work at these hostile times, which is really encouraging.

Still time to sign up and pls share with others. @jazzawi.bsky.social and I are looking forward to delivering a practical and empowering session ✊🏼

#Antiracist education is needed more than ever. Schools, HE & FE need confidence to tackle the rise of hate in society more than ever. Join our inaugral #CPD event for all educators across Scotland to think about how to face this challenge, increase confidence and build a movement towards peace ✌🏽

Members of our team were at the GGEC rally in Edinburgh today. We stand in solidarity with Palestinians. We denounce the scholasticide in Gaza - the killing of learning. We uphold the UNCRC and social justice as educators and reject neutrality in the face of such gross injustice.
