The recent wave of citizen-led uprisings in support of the global Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has again exposed the systemic racism in our societies. This gives us an opportunity to pause and reflect on race as a concept and to ask difficult questions, the result of which could create a path towards a more just society. Have a look at this video which begins to explore the issue.
This video is being launched as part of One World Week which is a week of youth-led awareness raising, education, critical engagement with issues, and action. During One World Week, young people learn about local, national, and global justice issues and take action to bring about change.
