How can we know about or understand things when we’ve never seen, heard, or read about them?
About The 5-Day Challenge
5 Challenges – 5 Minutes – 5-Days
Built by the Race Equality Matters Community.
There are many barriers to driving race equity, including a lack of understanding of what it feels like to be in others’ shoes and how to be positively inclusive.
Small changes can make a real difference to how we act and, in doing so, how we make people feel.
If everyone makes a small change – it adds up and becomes powerful and impactful and
enables real change.
Over the next 5 days, we ask everyone to take just 5 minutes each day to self-reflect and
commit to taking action that will drive this change.
If we can Listen to what needs to be done and take Action on what we have heard and learnt, then we can create and be the Change to tackle race inequality. This is why the 2024 Race Equality Week theme is #ListenActChange.
The 5-Day Challenge will help
There are different activities for you to engage with each day of Race Equality Week – they include videos, articles, and activities to help you reflect and, more importantly, take action to drive Race Equality.
Each daily activity is 5 minutes, and there are ready-to-go downloadable PDFS for each day.
