AriSEE’s book project is the supply of books to both Primary and Secondary schools.
There will be two very different sets of books which will be provided to the schools based upon the diversity of the schools.
1. Where the schools do not have many BAME students, the books will be predominantly based upon representation of BAME people, promotion of inclusivity, understanding of why the U.K. is so diverse and why some countries BAME people come from may not possess the same wealth and opportunities that Westernised countries do.
2. Where the schools are much more diverse, the books supplied will promote inclusivity, understanding of cultures and about people that would inspire them.
The schools will be introduced to AriSEE, who will supply them with their initial set of books.
Schools will be offered a free Workshop for the students in their final year at school to discuss racism. Upon delivery of the workshop AriSEE will supply them with the remainder of the books.

“Racism and racial abuse or bullying can be really distressing for children and young people. When a child is bullied or treated differently because of their race, it can lead to feelings of isolation, depression, anger or even shame about their race and how they look.” – NSPCC
