brap is a charity transforming the way we think and do equality. We were established in 1999 to be an independent, transformative force in the equalities sector. www.brap.org.uk
The hidden curriculum is about power.

Not just rules or policies – but everyday norms: whose stories matter, what’s worth learning, and the “right” way to learn.

Because it’s #RaceEqualityWeek, we’re sharing posts on racism in schools.
This one is about the hidden curriculum.

Not everything pupils learn is written down.
Alongside lessons, they absorb messages about what’s normal, valued, or seen as “other”.

“I don’t see colour.”
“There’s only one human race.”

Well-intentioned phrases, but they miss the point.

If we choose not to see race, we also choose not to see racism – and that makes it harder to challenge what’s happening in schools.

No templates. No easy answers. Just brave, facilitated space to do the deep, difficult work of anti-racism.

This video captures what people experience on our courses.

White Work 2026 invites white and white-presenting people into that journey.

Since it’s #RaceEqualityWeek, we’re sharing a short series on racism in schools.

Race isn’t biological. There are no different human races.
But racism is real, and it shapes pupils’ experiences every day.

The conversation centred on Birmingham and the growing gap between the people who live in the city and the structures that shape their lives.

Here's what we said, in four points:

People on our courses talk about deep learning, honesty, and the confidence to challenge racism in real ways.

White Work, our latest programme, builds that same space for reflection and growth.

Conversations about immigration and identity are everywhere right now, so it was a privilege to take part in a discussion event organised by The Dialogue Society yesterday.

We explored how younger migrants navigate who they are + the shared values that might help build trust across communities.

Just wrapped up our second Breaking the Cycle session on decolonising economics. We looked at community activism and how we build on what already exists to tease a solidarity economy into existence.

With all that’s going on in the world, this feels like the moment for a frank conversation about how we build bridges.

Joy Warmington and Dr Dayo Eseonu talk polarisation, the limits of contact theory, and how to host spaces where unpopular views can be heard without being endorsed.
January 14, 2026 at 9:17 AM
Our CEO sat down with @deseonu.bsky.social to talk about cohesion.

Polarisation, conflict, hosting difficult views, and what anti-racism really demands beyond tick boxes.

Plus Joy answers the question that gets her into trouble the most...
