We have been using resources from VotesForSchools to encourage our children to use critical thinking regarding about the world around them. This week, we will be focusing on racism. Please see below for a workpack that you can do with your child to encourage the conversation regarding diversity.
The lesson explores the impact of systemic racism & the changes the current Black Lives Matter protests hope to prompt. We focus primarily on the USA, particularly on the role of protesting, social media, and Government response. While these are serious themes, please rest assured we introduce students to them in an age-appropriate way. They will also be provided with ways that they can safely take a stand through our Call to Action, so we hope they feel empowered to make themselves heard.
