COURSE OVERVIEW
Racism is a long-standing issue that persists in contemporary society, emphasizing the urgent need for anti-racist actions. It has far-reaching effects on individuals, communities, and nations, perpetuating social inequalities, hindering progress, and denying countless people their dignity and equal opportunities in the workplace and society at large.
