Lovely to see the RESPECT Project Bristol published in the British Educational Research Journal today! After doing the body mapping of racism exercise at the Emerging Minds Network Summit in '22, I've been in awe of arts-based methodologies for exploring children's experiences of racism

What lucky students we have to have such compassionate and empathetic lecturers prepared to create learning experiences like this.Dr Rosamund Portus

Here it is CCC-CATAPULT Dr Rosamund Portus

Call out to all UWE Bristol staff and students, come along to the UWE environmental film club in March - the event will discuss 'what is a 'call to action', how effective is this film at inspiring change and what does it mean to make impact?'

The 'conversation cards' tool will very soon be available as a downloadable resource, along with other brand new tools produced from the CCC-CATAPULT project - watch this space: ccc-catapult.org/project-resour…

It both worries and inspires me that the young people I teach feel so deeply about the climate crisis. The image shows their thoughts and feelings about different topics as we tested out the climate conversation cards produced by CCC-CATAPULT research project. Research from UWE Bristol
