Fully recommend @CYRProject & @TeessideUni’s “Challenging Youth Racism Report to any PSHE/citizenship practitioners. Very good analysis on best practise in educating about racism (we also get a few mentions, which is nice 😊)

In a speech to the #cyrconference @TeessideUni, Lead Commissioner Sara Khan warned that young people in our country are being targeted by extremist groups as future recruits. She emphasised the need for safe and trusted spaces for them to explore and share their views. #extremism
The CYR team are at @TeessideUni participating in the project conference #CYRConference

Thousands of young people in the region feel more empowered to challenge and report racism thanks to @CYRProject, but media stereotypes, family influences and popular culture remain an issue. crowd.in/KnwmWa
