Practical Manual of Empowerment

Facing the experiences of racism which children and adolescents have had

The racism which children and young people have experienced requires a response from the education profession and social services. The author looks at this from the perspective of those affected and analyses which attitudes, reflections and knowledge is essential for professionals to recognise racism and to consider empowerment. The book presents practical methods for dealing with racism competently in anempowermentoriented way, handling differences, dealing with the effects of having experienced racism and how to counter racism with examples to show how to implement all this. The special feature: for the first time, empowerment trainers present their methods in the book using ‘safer spaces’.
