SCOREscotland will be holding an 8 week course titled Understanding and Challenging Racism starting Monday 26 October 2020, 6.00pm – 8.00pm, then running every Monday, with a registration fee of £5 per session.
This course will broaden participants’ understanding of the systematic nature of racism and its impact on our behaviour and on our relationships with each other and with ourselves.
Participants will have the opportunity to consider the sources of personal power and how they use their own influence to challenge power inequalities and promote inclusion.
