TESTIMONIAL
Was the facilitator inclusive, knowledgeable, and responsive to your needs?
“Toyin sets the scene well and his use of materials and mixed media is brilliant ensuring engagement and a safe space. The use of music and lyrics really stood out for me as both innovative and simple."
“I loved hearing anecdotes and personal examples too as this helped me build an understanding of perspective and the impact of anti-racism on communities (such as those in an education setting) and those of wider impact such as the example in the GP surgery helping me build empathy and learning. I am a great believer in storytelling as a way of shaping culture and understanding and Toyin has a wealth of knowledge which he imparts with humility and expertise.”
“The initial discussion on race and colour particularly highlighted for me so many nuances which exist which I hadn't really questioned before. It was a course that will stay with me for a long time.”
"The facilitator was very inclusive, knowledgeable and responsive. We were always given time for reflection, and I felt that he took time to get to know me. I felt that I could share my thoughts without judgement, and he listened carefully”
“Toyin provided an all embracing approach to anti racism which was inclusive and encouraged safe debate. The tone of the sessions were set via the introductory song encouraging thoughts and reflections which helped relax the group. The diverse range of teaching methods used within the sessions made the sessions more interesting and thought provoking.”
