Supporting Anti-Racism Efforts in Education

Working Together to Combat Racism in Education

The Anti-Racist Pedagogy Project is a video library showcasing pre-recorded talks by local community activists, students and educators in Montreal and Canada and transforming them into anti-racist educational resources for the classroom. The resource celebrates educators, students and community organizers that self-identify as marginalized and provides tools for educators to integrate the participant's lived experiences into tangible teaching and learning materials.

You Can Help

With your support, the Respond2Crisis Team can expand the video library, covering more themes and engaging video participants throughout the country.
