Using Scotland's new Anti Racism Education Resource at Early Level

Join us to build your professional confidence in exploring Anti-racist Education (ARE) in the Early Years setting.

Explore activities from the new national ARE resource at Early Level, created in partnership with a racially diverse group of Early Level practitioners and educators in Scotland. We will explore the Anti-Racist Curriculum Principles for Children at Early Level and take inspiration from the practical guidance and suggestions for ways to facilitate Spaces, Experiences and Interactions which support the principles.
