We work in partnership with schools to deliver our Cultural Development Programme (CDP), which provides school leaders with a framework to deliver the cultural development that many know their school community needs.
Our CDP:
helps to prepare children and young people to successfully navigate our interconnected world. Celebrating cultural diversity and inclusion significantly contributes to pupils’ attainment levels, sense of belonging and respect for others;
is delivered through a series of engaging workshops that are age-appropriate (for all key stages, including Sixth Form). Our workshops help equip pupils with critical thinking skills, empathy, and other soft skills needed to thrive in our diverse society and the global workspace and
is designed for the whole academic year and school community, working with staff, parents/carers and different year group cohorts, and can be booked annually. It is underpinned by research, our lived experiences, and best practice guidance, as well as collaboration with others, including authors, artists/performers, educators, and other EDI practitioners. It is regularly monitored and evaluated to assess its impact.
Our pupil workshops are fun and tailored to your students to ensure they develop our 3Rs:
Racial & cultural literacy- being racially aware, confident and continuing to build knowledge about other cultures and cultural differences. It is an essential skill for work and life.
Respectful curiosity & pride- an appreciation, interest in, and understanding of other cultures, including that of their peers, whilst also celebrating their own heritage, be it British or other cultures. Opportunity to learn about and from under-represented groups.
Resolve to respond-the courage, insights and tools to call out, challenge and correct racially inappropriate, discriminatory, and/or offensive behaviour or language.
