The project team is made up of Education, Teacher Trainer and Psychology researchers and a socially engaged artist from the University of the West of England (UWE), Bristol. The aim of the project is to explore 10 – 11 year olds’ experiences of racism and how they impact mental health and well being. In addition, we hope to investigate how Initial Teacher Training programmes can contribute to preparing student teachers for engaging with these experiences in their future classrooms to support the mental health and well being of their pupils.
