Nordisk Hjälp has started a project against everyday racism, with the support of MUCF. The project aims to raise awareness of the racism that goes on in everyday life, in small moments, comments, and “jokes”. We hold workshops at schools and associations, where we start from a kind of roleplay where different forms of everyday racism are exemplified. Some volunteers play along with the roleplay, followed by a question and answer (and discussion) session with the rest of the audience. It is about how to best deal with everyday racism.
The project is currently being implemented in central Sweden, but may be expanded in future. (Please get in touch if you are interested in implementing the project in your school or association).
