Let’s Talk About Racism: A Global Perspective 🌍
Today, more than ever, we stand against racial discrimination. We're proud to share a compelling video from the IFS Conference in Lille, 2023, featuring a vibrant conversation on racism.
Hosted by Mourad Chalal (France), with Ariana Elezaj (USA) and Nanna Castillo (Sweden), this discussion sheds light on the complexities of racism and the paths towards inclusivity.
"Racism thrives on silence - let's speak up."
