  1. This event is aimed at teachers in the United Kingdom

In recent years, incidents of Islamaphobic and antisemitic hatred and violence have continued to increase. Join us for a one-hour webinar introducing our two new mini-units on contemporary Islamophobia and contemporary antisemitism, which will support you to engage students in discussions about racial and religious hatred in our society, its impact, and what can be done to challenge it. 

The new mini-units consider the history and evolution of these prejudices, the role of social media in amplifying their spread, and how we can each stand up against bigotry and hate. 

This event is aimed at teachers in the UK.

Details for joining the Zoom meeting will be shared by email prior to the event.
