This symposium (hosted by ERIF in collaboration with the Amsterdam Theatre Group Munganga and the Lagos based EVCL TV) aims to provide a platform for parents and teachers to share their experiences dealing with racist imagery that is targeted at children, such as television shows, books, toys and food packaging. We hope to use this opportunity to develop meaningful methods of communication as well as realistic alternatives.

While this event is primarily geared towards parents and teachers, children are welcome to attend and join in on the activities. The key purpose of the day will be for all participants to walk away with a new network and new found confidence to challenge racist and harmful imagery as well as inspire new options for the future.

The event will feature a screening of the Nigerian children's series Bino & Fino, an arts and crafts activity as well as a drama workshop. Entry is upon a donation basis.
