In this series of videos based on a workshop by Efe Ezekiel, we'll explore what race, culture and identity means to young people in the UK. By watching the interviews we hope to initiate conversation is that your Young Reporters can explore how they feel about their own identity and gain the confidence to tell a story or talk about issues related to what they've seen in their lives or portrayed in the media.
Each video is only a few minutes long and is accompanied by exercises or talking points that make them perfect for working into lessons or group activities.
