Young Persons EDI Champions

Our Young Persons Programme is a discrimination prevention initiative that uses acts of rescue and resistance throughout history as a springboard to educate young people on Human Rights and Equity.

​

The Champions receive training focused on Anti-Racism, LGBTQIA+ awareness, Neurodiversity awareness and the role of Active Bystanders.

 

They learn about historical figures from the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement to modern day trailblazers who are pioneers in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion across a variety of industries, professions and identities. Intersectionality is central to all our training.

 

The Be What You See Team works with the pupils and their school/college to then design and deliver assembly-style and classroom Diversity Workshops.

 

These can be linked to awareness and celebration events in the school calendar such as: 

• Black History Month

• Holocaust Memorial Day

• LGBTQIA+ History Month

• Mental Health Awareness Week
