Delighted to share the link to our free book - coproduced with children #IfRacismVanishedForADay. Amplifying the voices of 9-11 yr olds experiences of racism and hopes for the future. A 🧵 https://t.co/cv9PdUa2DS @UWEBristol @ChrisPawson @malcolmrichards @Fiyory_ @EmergingMindsUK

Everyone should read this - powerful story highlighting systemic racism and the power of the arts as refuge and voice giver.

[Verity Jones @VerityJones_edu]

Looking forward to talking to @kevinphilemon1 on @BBCRB tonight at 7.30pm to chat about @RespectProjBris and the billboard we have put up inviting people to think about a world without racism. @UWE_Education @UWEBristol

@UWE_Research @EmergingMindsUK Massive thanks to all the children and schools involved, funding from @UWEBristol and @EmergingMindsUK . And the amazing work of @AdblockBristol ❤️

[RESPECT Project Bristol @RespectProjBris]

Excited to have our build board going up now!! Watch this space for updates and join us down at St Werburghs - give us a wave if you’re passing!! @UWEBristol @BBCNews

[RESPECT Project Bristol @RespectProjBris]

Our billboard is up! Responding to children in Bristol who think racism needs to be addressed, not just a theme in Black History Month or a headline after an incident. We invite you to imagine a world without racism & consider how we can get there. @UWE_Research @EmergingMindsUK

[RESPECT Project Bristol @RespectProjBris]

Really excited to share that on Thur we will have a billboard up with an image from If Racism Vanished for a Day- inviting people to think about racism … and not just in Black History Month (as requested by the young people we work with) … keep tuned for updates! @UWE_Research

[RESPECT Project Bristol @RespectProjBris]

Great to see our work up on @exchangewales - as always, do get in touch if you’d like to know more about our work and how we are amplifying children’s lived experience of racism.

We consider that this approach contributes to knowledge and understanding about exploring the nuanced and complex relationship between the children's external worlds and internal feelings, and suggest a framework for others to use and adapt. Pls check it out. @EmergingMindsUK

[Verity Jones @VerityJones_edu]

The research responds to the relative lack of literature concerning the racialised experiences of young children. We discuss how we developed the arts-based method of body mapping as an ethical approach to foregrounding the children's voices. @RespectProjBris

Our paper is out! https://t.co/z1WrOW9rhi

[RESPECT Project Bristol @RespectProjBris]

As #BlackHistoryMonth comes to a close we remind folk that children in the RESPECT project call for schools not to be tokenistic but talk about race and racism all year Please use our free book to help! @barnardos @UWE_Research @Ben_3eyes. https://t.co/2Arcm3jWKa

[RESPECT Project Bristol @RespectProjBris]

How & what do we memorialise? The RESPECT team were out with @MontpelierHigh to explore young people’s insights & how we make sense of the slave trade today. Learners suggested plaques to celebrate family, statues of wise women & stones to remember the forgotten. @UWEBristol

[RESPECT Project Bristol @RespectProjBris]

We’re really looking forward to being at @BERANews conference this week. Do come and say hi!

[Verity Jones @VerityJones_edu]

The @RespectProjBris team will also be there on Tue sharing methodologies on how to start conversations about racism using arts based practice. @TessaPodpadec @EmergingMindsUK

[RESPECT Project Bristol @RespectProjBris]

Delighted to report our free online version of the children’s book If Racism Vanished for a Day has been read over 2000 times and in many countries 🎉 Please continue to share and amplify 9-11yr old’s experiences of racism in the UK. @UWE_Education @BBCBristol @EmergingMindsUK
