Winning alliances for anti-racist education

On June 6, SHARE is holding its fourth annual conference to broaden and deepen anti-racist education. We look forward to meeting you and hearing your contributions.

We have a wonderful range of speakers from across Sheffield. There will be lots of time for discussion.

This year’s conference takes place in a time of resurgent racism with deep global roots in white supremacism, Empire and enslavement.

Anti-racist education is central to the goal of achieving a world free from the poison of racism.

The inspiration for our previous conferences has come from uniting international, national and local dialogues and experiences.

Our 2026 conference will focus on building powerful alliances for anti-racist education by sharing ideas to inform action and change.

Info: Our opening speakers will set the scene for the day. The global pressure of racism is being met with fierce resistance. Anti-racist education has a critical role to play in creating an effective alternative to that pressure. The discussion will focus on the actions we need to take to build those winning alliances for anti-racist education.

Info: We are delighted to welcome contributers who are playing leading roles in developing anti-racist education in schools. Our speakers bring to the discussion great experience in the primary, secondary and HE sectors across a range of subjects. The discussion will include anti-racism and the training of teachers. It will also consider the interrelationship between schools and local communities.

Info: Sheffield Museums Trust is committed to a process of decolonisation. The session will be an opportunity to reflect on progress to date and hear about the next steps. Please see https://www.sheffieldmuseums.org.uk/about-us/how-we-work/museums-for-everyone/

Info: The speakers will outline the progress in the Project Hidden Sheffield story map depicting the consequences of the human trafficking of the Atlantic trade in enslaved people on the city. The session offers an opportunity for suggestions of future developments in the story map to reflect more accurately the the city's diverse heritage and global connections.
