This workshop aims to provide a safe and non-judgemental environment to explore the subject of discrimination.

It will explore the causes and consequences of prejudice and discrimination, the impact of unconscious bias on our thought processes, and why it is important to utilise critical thinking skills to counteract the influence of media, misinformation and harmful narratives. We will look at the role these narratives play when used to incite and agitate racist riots and unlawful behaviour, but also how they still shape current events happening across the UK. The workshop will also examine how people can challenge these biases and behaviours, leaving delegates with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to challenge prejudice personally and professionally.

Session includes:

* Bias and the Brain

* The Role of the Media

* Challenging Harmful Narratives

* Non Confrontational Challenge Toolkit
