Time for Action on Racism in Sport
The Yorkshire and Humber Anti-Racism in Sport Group would like to invite people to come together and help tackle racism in sport.
The speakers and workshops will be themed around three areas:
- Acknowledgement - What are people experiencing and feeling?
Being honest about areas where problems need addressing. - Barriers - What's stopping people from being inclusive?
How to identify and deal with barriers and blockers. - Culture - When are we going to get equality?
Building a culture that lets fairness thrive.
