This website provides tools, workshops and ideas to support Early Years practitioners and educators in Scotland to build an anti-racist curriculum which responds positively to the diverse needs of individual learning where all cultures, religions, identities, and languages are recognised and valued. There are materials for Early Level, which include 3 padlets on ways to develop spaces, experiences and interaction through an anti-racist lens, 1st level resources which take a story-line approach and 2^nd / 3^rd level materials which are designed as interactive workshops. In addition there is information about using the right language and how to deal with racial slurs.

The materials have been developed in partnership with a racially diverse group of children, young people and educators across different sectors of Scottish Education.

 

All the materials are free to access on our website https://www.antiracisted.scot/
