Developed by Contact in partnership with writer, artist, Artistic Director and CEO Keisha Thompson, this programme is designed to help organisations make a proactive step-change towards a meaningful and enduring anti-racism culture.

Originally created and successfully rolled out as in-house training for Contact trustees, we believe that this programme can have real value and impact beyond our own organisation.


To date, we have delivered training to a range of clients, such as Manchester Art Gallery, Battersea Arts Centre and HOME. Available as either a one day introductory course, two day intensive programme or Teacher or Education Focused CPD, the training unpicks the structural complexities of prejudice and discrimination, and provides a space for reflection, challenge and ultimately changemaking.

Through creative facilitation, poetry, group tasks and the use of case studies, the programme promotes a heightened awareness of societal racism and personal agency, before focussing on the development of an actionable plan for positive organisational change

"Our Diversity and Inclusion event was a huge success, we had great client discussions and it was great to see the energy in the room."

Katherine Savage, Ernst & Young

This course is available in both online webinar and in-person formats, with a minimum booking of 10 people.

As a not-for-profit organisation, all proceeds from our consultancy services are directly reinvested into our work with young people, on stage and in the community.
