Overview
About This Assessment
In this assessment, which lasts one fifty-minute lesson, students have the opportunity to participate in a People’s Assembly and share their responses to the question:
How might we challenge all types of racism in the UK so that everyone can thrive?
A People’s Assembly is a powerful process as it gives those participating the control, the responsibility and the opportunity to be active, respectful listeners. It can be a transformative experience: the prioritisation of active listening and inclusivity means that it gives people the chance to be listened to in a way that may not be the norm. This short dialogic process can help students gain confidence in themselves and can assist with community building: it encourages students to value everyone’s contributions and to work together to collectively decide on what they will share with others.
