Race Equality Training

Race Equality Training

Duration: 1 full day

Facilitator: Advance HE

Course Content:

This one-day interactive workshop will equip participants with knowledge, awareness, and actionable steps to promote race equality and contribute to a more inclusive campus community. It begins by exploring the journey toward race equality in higher education (HE) and society in Ireland. Participants will also discuss language complexities related to race, racism, and inequality.

Using the lived experiences of minority ethnic staff and students in HE, the session then delves into how racism manifests in HE. This includes examining ideas such as overt and covert racism, barriers to equality, and understanding power dynamics. The workshop ultimately focuses on how instructional leaders can build a racial equity-focused culture. It aims to empower participants to lead the change, to be better allies (collaborators), engage in constructive discussions, and take action. The goal is to create an inclusive campus committed to dignity and respect.

Target audience: Heads of Schools/Units, PIs, Line Managers and Supervisors, HR Business Partners
