Global Forum for Children and Youth
Addressing anti-Black racism helps to create communities for children to thrive
In this session, children and young activists will reflect on how they have been impacted by racism and the work they are leading to address discrimination. You will also hear from schools and local authorities that are actively tackling anti-Black racism, and how, by doing so, they made their communities more welcoming for all children and young people.
Come, Listen and be inspired about how we can all play our part in ending Black racism.
