What Is Anti-Racism Training?

Anti-racism training has been established to prevent the growth of racist based attitudes and   opinions, as well as to address issues of racism and prejudice in Northern Ireland.

The objectives of anti-racism training are to:

• Counter Racism
• Create self-sustaining structures of anti-racist activity and cross community participation
• Promote inter-ethnic participation
• Provide awareness of the value of cultural diversity and of the dangers of social exclusion

Anti-racism training differs from cultural awareness training, which gives   information on different cultures without changing attitudes.  Anti-racism training tackles the underlying causes of prejudice and discrimination by encouraging participants to examine their own attitudes, in order to bring about social change

Who Provides the Training?

Training is provided by the Black and Minority Ethnic Trainers Network.  The Network was founded to provide support for individuals who have successfully completed the NICEM training, are undertaking basic or further training, and are practicing as anti-racism, anti-discrimination and diversity trainers.

NICEM aims to establish good models of practice, in order to promote racial equality standards and services

NICEM provides tailor made anti-racism training according to the needs of each organisation
