Our Exhibitors
Lit in Colour - Penguin Books & The Runnymede Trust
The Lit in Colour campaign supports UK schools make the teaching and learning of English literature more inclusive of writers of colour. Initiated in 2020 by Penguin Books, the campaign published ground breaking research with principle partner the Runnymede Trust to better understand the barriers preventing schools from teaching books by writers of colour, and set out practical recommendations for change. The campaign provides free teaching resources, book donations and CPD to support schools.
An award-winning teaching platform made up of interactive 360° spaces and soundscapes of real homes, workplaces and environments from around the world known as storyworlds.
Show Racism the Red Card is the UK's leading anti-racism educational charity. In addition to the direct education of young people and adults, SRtRC produces educational resources and platforms, to challenge misconceptions, stereotypes and negative attitudes in society.
The Anthony Walker Foundation works to tackle racism, hate crime and discrimination by providing educational opportunities, victim support services and by promoting equity and inclusion for all.
