The Young Changemaker team delivers 2 in-person anti-racist bullying training days across the UK, in collaboration with Not So Micro.
To mark Black History Month, the Young Changemaker team worked in collaboration with Not So Micro to deliver two in-person anti-racist bullying training days. The anti-racist bullying training educates young people on how to understand, recognise and respond to racist bullying behaviour and strives to build their confidence in supporting their peers who have faced anti-racist bullying.
From completing the training, we aim for students to achieve the following aims:
UNDERSTAND
RECOGNISE
RESPOND
Over the course of two training events, we engaged 80 students across six schools in London and Manchester. When asked what the students want to take forward following the training, feedback included:
“I want to help make a difference in society”.
“Always be there for people who are insecure, scared, or not confident about their race, ethnicity or identity”.
“Help others and be a better upstander”.
“The training has taught me I need to check in more with my friends and has made me more aware.”
“I love how the facilitators teach”
“I feel like I learnt words to describe stuff that I have experienced in the past”
To see what the schools got up to, check out the video from the training below.

Today, The Diana Award launched ‘Pledge to Invest’ an initiative which puts the spotlight on the future of youth leadership and how forward-thinking businesses can support.
Young people from across the UK gathered at the Department for Education to share their experiences of bullying directly with Minister Morgan. Their voices are helping shape how schools respond and support pupils in the future.
We recently asked educators on the Anti-Bullying Ambassador Programme to share their insight. From expanding training access to boosting student engagement and recognition, we’re taking action to strengthen and evolve the programme.
