Organized by

We organize webinars, seminars, and workshops for parents and teachers that build their racial knowledge and raise awareness of the impact of identity crisis on black and minority children (extend to other minority groups). We organise webinars and conferences for parents that provide information that can help parent support their children and young adults in their development - character development, ensuring that children have that enabling environment to show and receive kindness. This could be by providing information on the social and emotional development of children, educational information to ease the stress of education, or sign-posting parents to support systems available in the UK, Africa, or globally. We organize kids' academy and workshops that develop the social and emotional intelligence skills of black & minority children and young adults to enable them to thrive in their environment.
