London, United Kingdom

Changing demographics in England, largely due to rising immigration, are increasingly leading to cultural and religious misunderstanding and prejudice, which has the potential to devolve into violence and extremism of either side.  Education that fosters tolerance, mutual understanding, and civic engagement is important for preventing violence.  Schools in England have the potential to be places of inclusion and tolerance, or of segregation and isolation.  Providing teachers with the training and support they need to foster difficult but necessary conversations about racism, prejudice, and tolerance is critical to ensuring that students think critically about their own actions and decisions.
