Participant Evaluations

‘This experience has been life changing. I have truly learned more about myself and gained a better awareness of other people. I didn't think it would be possible to gain an education that will stay with me forever in 3 days, but I did!'

‘This training gave me a real insight into a range of hate-related problems in my own community'

'I have a more empathetic and properly addressed approach to bias, prejudice, harassment and violence.'

‘Speak out in a more confident way when expressions of prejudice occur and encourage others to do the same.'

‘Thank you for the opportunity to be a participant in such a wonderful experience.'

'Another tool in the box to combat hate crime, racism and sectarianism.'

'This knowledge will definitely be a very good strong tool for me to help people (victims) to learn how to face and challenge future hate crimes'.
