People/communities experiencing racial inequalities

The relationship between Sport and 'Race', and the role of leaders in reimagining sport

Racism and racial inequalities exist across our sporting system.  But do we truly understand why?  In this workshop, we'll explore the idea of 'race' and the sporting system's role in reinforcing it over the centuries.  We'll look at how our system were formed, and how that has created a legacy of inequalities in power, representation and experience.
