Educate and Reflect

Educate yourself

Empower the future generation to #FightRacism and cultivate values of respect in young minds.

Whether in the classroom or at home, celebrate diversity and differences, offer alternative role models and do not shy away from discussing - in an age-appropriate way - racism and discrimination with children.
