Anti-Racist Education: It Starts Within ........    

     This video is a co-production of EMS and the Halifax County-Bedford District School Board. In the program, Cole Harbour High School students introduce and perform sketches dramatizing race relations issues, sketches they themselves developed during a power play workshop in which they participated at school. The video is an in-service resource for teachers planning similar events; a guide accompanies it. The program is also a powerful means of provoking, in secondary-school students, a classroom discussion of racism at school and in the community.
