DBE School Leaders’ Conference | 21 Nov 2024
Racial Justice: Empowering Change for our Schools
Thurs 21st Nov | Park Royal Hotel | Stretton
We are excited to announce our Senior Leaders’ Conference with this year’s theme on Racial Justice: Empowering Change for Schools. We have a moral and economic imperative to eliminate systemic racism and racial injustices Schools engaging in racial justice contribute to a more inclusive, informed, and equitable society.
It is crucial for young people to learn about equity and social justice so they can thrive in our increasingly global, multilingual and multicultural world.
Attending this conference will help school leaders to learn more about the need to understand how important it is to ensure pupils experience representation of global majority heritage individuals, even if they live in a largely WGB community.
We live and work in an increasingly inter-connected world. As school leaders, we should feel compelled to open our children’s eyes so they become curious, well-informed and capable of understanding how to embrace an understanding of their place in this complex world.
We are delighted to introduce our keynote speakers:
The Rt Revd Dr Rose Hudson-Wilkin
the Bishop of Dover
Elizabeth Olulari
National Lead for Racial Justice at the Church of England Education Office
We will also be joined by The Rt Revd Mark Tanner, the Bishop of Chester.
The day will include workshop sessions to support schools to implement/develop change:
To facilitate our workshops, we are also fortunate to be joined by:
Liz Agbettoh (Blackburn Diocese) – Developing a strategic approach to implementing change for racial justice
Elizabeth Olulari/Lorraine Prince – Developing a curriculum for racial justice
Kayleigh Page & Freya Riley (Grappenhall St Wilfrid’s CE Primary School) – How to implement Racial Justice work in a largely white British community.
