LTTA Meeting Summary – Raise the Bar: Becoming Antiracist Schools
Hosted by the Directorate of Primary Education Western Thessaloniki (DPEWT)
Dates: January 21–23, 2025 | Location: Mediterranean Palace Hotel, Thessaloniki, Greece
Duration: 21 hours | Language: English

The LTTA (Learning, Teaching, Training Activity) event for the European project Raise the Bar: Becoming Antiracist Schools brought together representatives from partner organizations to deepen their understanding of inclusive and anti-racist education. Hosted by the Directorate of Primary Education Western Thessaloniki, the meeting focused on equipping educators with practical tools and strategies to foster empathy, inclusivity, and equality in schools. Over the course of three days, participants engaged in structured training modules covering minority rights, systemic discrimination, and innovative teaching methods that support diversity and challenge prejudice.

The training combined theoretical insights with interactive workshops, such as role-playing, debates, and multimedia activities, to explore the realities of discrimination and promote antiracist pedagogies. Discussions also addressed broader societal and political challenges, including the influence of populism, digital inequality, and institutional resistance. This event marks a crucial step in the implementation phase of the project, as materials will now be piloted across various countries, refined through feedback, and adapted to local contexts to ensure long-term impact on European educational practices.
