• The national Building Racial Literacy programme promotes anti-racism as a baseline professional value, empowering educators to identify and implement anti-racist behaviours and processes in their everyday practice.

      The ultimate goal of the Building Racial Literacy programme is to make every educator in Scotland racially literate, effective at dealing with racism and confident in leading anti-racism.

      Co-constructed with a wide range of partners, including education practitioners and stakeholders on the Scottish Government Anti-Racism in Education Programme (AREP) over 400 educators and education system leaders across Scotland have taken part in the Building Racial Literacy programme during its four iterations from 2022. In 2023, the programme team won the SAMEE Building Bridges award.

      Three short videos have been created to tell the programme’s story with participants from
