“The purpose of Unlearning Racism is to contribute and support Black, Brown and Majority World-led racial justice work. We engage white people and communities to unlearn racism, to increase anti-racist understanding and race analysis in mainstream thought. We aim to mobilise white people and communities towards collective action to dismantle the structures and systems of white supremacy.”

Our Courses

Racism isn’t a relic of history or a phenomenon that goes on ‘over there’, but something here in our present. It shapes our political, economic, cultural and social landscapes. Racism is a system built on centuries of racial injustice and legacies of colonial violence.

Generations of white people have benefited from this system, and continue to do so. As white people we need to acknowledge our whiteness and the ways it shapes how we see and relate to the world. We need to move past responses of denial or defensiveness in order to better confront racism with greater responsibility and collective action.
