Stories for Resilience

To help children to cope with the impact of being in, and eventually exiting, lockdown, we have been working on a project that focuses on story writing as a way of building resilience. Squirrels in Lockdown provides a useful way of encouraging children to talk about their experiences. Email us for a free PDF copy, or see https://www.instagram.com/p/Cao_b3KgBnK/

Eid Al Fitr 2021

Eid Prayer

The Muslim Council of Wales, with the support of Welsh Government, Cardiff Council and Production 78, is organising Eid salah for 500 people at Cardiff Castle in the centre of the Welsh capital. Booking and Covid tests are required to take part in this unique event. The wording 'Eid Cymru' means 'Eid Wales' and is a really nice intercultural touch.        

Children's Book

Ramadan in Space

This Ramadan has been really special since the release of  the first children's book by Wendy Booth in March 2021, which is based on an idea by Alex Fell, illustrated by Hana Hanifah Ishwari, and produced by MySalahMat. It teaches children the Islamic concept of fasting and praying wherever you may be, along with some scientific concepts. Looking forward to the next book - watch this space! 

HE Climate Action Toolkit launched

Online Hate Speech Seminar

Hope not Hate and CCDH

An excellent seminar today organised by Connected Communities, Newport City Council. Owen from Hope not Hate explained the best ways of trying to shift someone away from hate and intolerance. In addition, Imran from CCDH explained online algorithms and how we should simply report and ignore hate speech, and not engage with it, as that increases its impact.  

Reimagining Schools

Online Conference facilitated by SAGE publishing 28/10/20

The Reimagining Schools online conference allowed experts to share their views on cultivating equitable, anti-racist social institutions.

The other scholars are based in the US and some interesting contrasts in relation to diversity were highlighted.   

Urban Circle

Akala: The Power of Education

We were pleased to attend the online seminar organised by Urban Circle Newport, at which the rapper and academic Dr Akala spoke about the ‘Power of Education’ and his views on race, class and power relations. We also heard from the panelist’s Dr Foluke Adebisi about issues related to law, and Abu-Bakr Madden Al-Shabazz, who brought home the lived experiences of racism. 

BAME Helpline

Online Training

Online Training Options

Due to current restrictions on travel and gatherings, we are offering online training via Google Meet (if you prefer an alternative app please let us know). This training will focus on teaching tolerance and ethnocultural empathy through social psychology.  Contact us to organise training for your institution. 

Black Lives Matter

Statement on BLM

Recent events have shown us that racism has not gone away. In fact, in this era of uncertainty, it has become even easier for people to retreat into their in-groups and blame others for the problems occurring around the world. Addressing structural racism and examining the social  psychology involved will go some way towards tackling this major global problem. We stand in solidarity with those seeking a just and fair system. 

Covid 19

Statement on Covid 19

 We are currently organising online services, and where training is organised face to face, steps will be taken to ensure the safety of everyone involved, including the provision of hand sanitiser on desks and allowing extra space between attendees.
