What can parents or guardians do when racism is institutionalized as part of the lessons and events in their children’s school? Think of systemic low rate school advise for children of color, racist traditions, or stereotypes in curricula, text books and class rooms. Join us for presentations and discussions together with parents, school principals, teachers and researchers who have been confronting and working against institutionalized racism in Dutch schools. Expect anti-racist educational tips & resources, a poetry performance and a lively conversation.
