Education Model

The construction of a youth-driven education model to prevent and combat racism was one of the principal goals of the Youth Forums Against Racism (YFAR) project. At each of the four regional forums, participants recommended what they would like to see in a youth-focused anti-racism education model. Then a team of eight youth, representing each of the regional forums, had the difficult task (at the national forum) of combining their peers' recommendations into one idea. They chose and developed, with the help and input of their regional colleagues, "The KIT: a manual by youth to combat racism through education".

"The KIT" is a bilingual manual containing 61 pages of information, history, resources, and tools for anti-racism education. The manual has been created by youth for youth, but is also useful for educators, parents, community leaders, anti-racism activists, ethnocultural groups, and non-governmental organizations.
