Sharing Space
Race and Education Film Club 2024
The Race and Education Film Club returns for a third year!
Following our successful events over the past two years, the Race and Education Film Club team are returning with a new set of sessions for 2024.
The format will be the same as last year: you watch the film in advance, then join us on Zoom for a discussion of the film, led by someone with a particularly interesting perspective to share on the subject matter.
In keeping with the international theme of previous years, we are working with colleagues across the globe to provide opportunities for dialogue on the issues surrounding Race and Education.
Collaborators
Organisations we are collaborating with on this wider activity are:
- The Race and Multiculturalism SIG of the Association of Moral Educators (AME)
- The Journal of Moral Education Trust
We have received funding for our project through the generous support of a Small Grant from the Culham St Gabriel’s Trust.
Key aims of the project
- Consider theoretical and practical complexities for teachers of issues of race, intersected with religion and culture and education
- Showcase the contribution of Religion and Worldview Education (RWE) specialist teachers to critical reflection on race and education and by this means to promote an understanding of the subject’s distinctive curriculum contribution; developing leadership and research skills of 3 RWE practitioners by this means
- Encourage RWE practitioners to appreciate contributions to their subject from other experts outside the subject community in non-defensive ways
- Explore the potential of a new model of knowledge production and exchange built around discussion of a film using collaborative action research
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the film club at our new email address: raceandeducationfilmclub@gmail.com.
