Share your thoughts about the Racialized Students’ Voice Committee
HWDSB is starting a new committee to hear the voices of racialized students across the school board.
The committee is a way for students to share their lived experiences of race and racism, reflect upon their identities, experiences and specific challenges and successes. The committee will connect students from different schools and provide insight on policies, programs and practices to improve outcomes for racialized students.
Before it starts, HWDSB wants to hear from students in grades 7 to 12 who self-identify as racialized. There will be a focus group where students can tell the board what they feel is important to consider in the creation of this new committee.
All students who identify as racialized are welcome to participate in this leadership opportunity.
