Training Materials and Activities: I Am Not A Racist But...   A planning and delivering anti-racist training book

This handbook (access via the link)  has been produced as part of the Erasmus+ funded INAR (I'm not a racist, but...) project. 

Led by InterCultural Iceland, the project aims to reach adult learners who are resistant to anti-discrimination training by providing support and strategies to trainers who may tend to avoid or ignore this group. Reaching these individuals with innovative, cooperative, and 'no blame' methodologies will lead to improvements in social and employment relations, offering an extension to the forms of training and education currently available. The project tackles both the social injustices caused by discrimination and prejudice, and the difficulties experienced within organisations where individuals fail to engage with anti-discrimination agendas. Ingrained prejudice causes behaviours which can be a catalyst for significant harm, disruption, and stress. For organisations, it can also ultimately result in costly reparation activities (either directly or indirectly).

Intersectionality: This lesson plan will support your curriculum on the Civil Rights movement in America by covering the life and work of Bayard Rustin. Rustin was a leader in the Civil Rights movement, but one who was often side-lined due to being an out gay man during this period. This lesson explores themes of anti-racism and LGBT rights while supporting people to think critically about inequality, protest action, rights movements, and social change.

Focused at school aged young people, this could be used/adapted for older learners
