The project is needed to counter a rise in religious and racial intolerance in British society that threatens to endanger social cohesion and our civic society if it continues to go unchecked. between 2008 and 2009, incidence of racially-motivated crime throughout Greater London rose by 6.5%. The increase was most pronounced in boroughs with a high number of ethnic minorities such as Hackney, experiencing a disproportionate amount of racially-motivated crime.

We offer interactive sessions with young people encouraged to identify, appraise and challenge beliefs that harden inter-faith, race and community tensions. We have developed activities which are engaging and dynamic to ensure that the project can provide reactive and discursive forums in which young people can share their experiences of discrimination. Activities such as role play and image brainstorming are used to stimulate participants to discuss and evaluate the issues of intolerance.
