Copy of Courageous Leadership in a Fractured World

This unique and high-profile hybrid event, on 21 March, coinciding with the UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, will bring together people in-person and online, in each nation of the United Kingdom and international participants, to discuss and shape actions for achieving an anti-racist society and ethnic equity for all.

Through a thought-provoking blend of tracks, trails and threads, keynotes, provocations, roundtable conversations, case studies, collaborative research, and calls to action, the conference will:

• Explore the role and imperative of courageous leadership in the fight for an anti-racist world.
• Showcase the trailblazers that are challenging the status quo, by pushing boundaries with initiatives on anti-racism that are making a difference.
• Learn how system leaders are proactively applying the BLG 10 Point Plan to embed an anti-racist culture.
• Discover how educational leaders are invested in co-creation using the anti-racist principles and tools developed to galvanise the energy and talent of teachers, students, and communities.
• Examine the role of artificial intelligence applications in profiling bias and racial prejudice in recruitment, promotion and training.
