Beyond Words: Driving Real Change with an Anti-Racism Strategy

2pm – 3pm BST, 31 March 2025 ‐ 1 hour

Room: Hall 11a

Workshop

This session explores how organisations can move beyond words and statements to drive real, lasting change through an effective anti-racism strategy. Lizzie Johnson and Xavier Baker will share insights into establishing clear goals, co-producing strategies with diverse voices, and setting measurable benchmarks for accountability. Participants will examine practical steps to tackle structural inequities, foster inclusive cultures, and sustain progress over time. The discussion will highlight the role of power dynamics, privilege, and intersectionality in shaping organisational change, equipping attendees with tools to embed anti-racist principles in their work. By drawing on real-world strategies and lessons learned, this session offers a roadmap for individuals and organisations seeking to create meaningful, systemic impact.
