EDUCATION
PROMOTING RACIAL HARMONY
At the heart of promoting racial harmony in the educational environment lie three foundational concepts:
Equality
Diversity
Inclusion
Understanding EDI is integral to developing respect, acceptance, and kindness for those around us, whether personally or professionally. But to be honest, before we can even begin to understand EDI, we need to understand the root cause of the issues it addresses and eradicate the elements that perpetuate them. Our educational programmes support curricular and extracurricular activities, which consist of 24 interactive lessons that explore the concept of racism.
These principles are also essential for creating a society where everyone feels valued, respected, and equal. The pursuit of racial harmony is an ethical imperative that demands a profound examination of the values, principles, and actions that shape our societies. Investigating why EDI matters with ISHEP Foundation, is a duty to all of us. During course, you’ll be introduced to the core concepts of EDI. You’ll discover why inclusion matters in today’s society, reflecting on why traditional approaches to EDI have been unsuccessful.
EDI is intricately tied to the pursuit of justice and fairness. Racial harmony education is essential for challenging preconceived notions and adopting a nuanced understanding of race as a social construct. The language of EDI has the power to help or hinder efforts to increase diversity and inclusion, and it’s important for driving change, particularly in the workplace. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to develop strategies to encourage a sense of belonging, community, and connection at work.

Understanding Racism
Racism is a belief or attitude that certain races are superior or inferior to others. It is a form of discrimination based on someone’s race or ethnicity. Racism can manifest in various ways, including unfair treatment, prejudice, or stereotypes directed towards people of different racial backgrounds.
Imagine a big box of crayons, each representing a different colour. Racism is like saying that one colour is better than the others just because it’s different. It’s not fair because all the colours are unique and beautiful in their own way.
Racism can occur on a personal level, such as when someone makes derogatory comments or jokes about someone’s race. It can also be systemic, meaning it is built into the laws, policies, or institutions of a society, making it harder for certain racial groups to succeed or be treated equally.
For example, if a company only hires people of a certain race and doesn’t give opportunities to others, that’s a form of systemic racism. Referring to someone outside of your household as a monkey, is a form of racism and a hate crime.
Overall, racism is harmful because it divides people and creates inequality based on something as superficial as the colour of someone’s skin. It is important to recognise and fight against racism to create a fair and inclusive society where everyone is treated with respect and dignity.
The Role of PRH Education
Incorporating critical perspectives into educational curricula can empower individuals to critically analyse and deconstruct racial ideologies. Literature has evolved to not only articulate the struggles of racial identity but also envision a future of harmony. As the UK and other societies continue to grapple with the legacies of the past and navigate the challenges of the present, recognising the enduring consequences of historical processes serves as guidepost for building a more equitable and harmonious future.
The United Kingdom, a melting pot of cultures and backgrounds, is enriched by the diversity of its population. In a world where global connections are increasingly essential, adopting a deep understanding of diverse cultural expressions is paramount. ISHEP aims to encourage people to engage with and appreciate the richness of cultural diversity within the UK. By exploring literature, arts, music, and other cultural expressions, people can transcend barriers, challenge stereotypes, and contribute to a more inclusive and harmonious society.
Benefits of Racial Harmony
The concept of racial harmony encompasses the establishment of positive, respectful, and equal relationships among everyday people from different racial and ethnic backgrounds. The benefits of racial harmony are numerous and far-reaching. Here are a few to get going.

ISHEP Objective
Our objective is to nurture communities that promote understanding, respect, and appreciation for racial and ethnic social cohesion through education, training, and social welfare. Our educational programmes support curricular and extracurricular activities.
It is to enhance the racial harmony education experience for everyone. A diverse classroom offers a wider range of perspectives and encourages students to challenge their stereotypes. Our program is not only valuable for victims of hate crimes but also for young learners and in the professional workplace, where people can benefit from cross-ethnic friendships, reducing feelings of loneliness and victimisation.
ISHEP aims to provide equal opportunities for black individuals to pursue STEM education with the help of mentors. This will not only improve their psychological experiences in class but also enhance their emotional well-being. Eventually, they will have a better chance of securing internships and pursuing a career in STEM. Additionally, learners who learn in diverse environments tend to have higher success rates, show more civic involvement, and develop positive self-concepts and strong leadership skills. This is available across all racial groups.
Our objective is to nurture communities that promote understanding, respect, and appreciation for racial and ethnic social cohesion through education, training, and social welfare. Our educational programmes support curricular and extracurricular activities, which consist of 24 interactive lessons that explore the concept of racism. These lessons encourage learners to form their own opinions and make informed decisions about whether racism has a place in today’s society.
Poverty Relief and Sustainable Communities
Racial harmony contributes to poverty relief by ensuring equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their racial background. Sustainable communities are built on the principles of inclusivity, equality, and respect for diversity.
ISHEP’s interactive learning approach can significantly and positively impact learners’ problem-solving skills and encourage reflection. The presence of diverse viewpoints in a classroom can also help students develop communication skills, empathy, and a better understanding of class material.
At ISHEP, we strongly believe that promoting racial harmony is an all-round effort that produces numerous social, economic, and cultural benefits within a local community and, most importantly, for society as a whole. By working together, we can create a more inclusive, equitable, and harmonious future for all.
Let’s examine social inequality together and the fight against discrimination in the workplace.
You will learn how to apply the correct terminology, you’ll explore the representation of different groups in society and the media. You’ll use your understanding of stereotypes and prejudices to assess the impact of discrimination at work and the fight for equity in the workplace.
At the end of lesson 4, you’ll be in a better position to explain the need to challenge social and economic disparities to help build a fairer society. At the end of the 24 modules, you’ll be significantly comfortable using EDI terminology to explain societal inequalities and have the confidence to address disadvantages in the workplace and the community.
