On 6th March 2025, People Arise Now, supported by Sutton Council and the Sutton LSCP, hosted the first T.L.E. Youth Race Summit, building on the borough’s ongoing race equality work.
The event was attended by 40 students from various Sutton schools, and had the input of 761 students who completed pre-summit questionnaires.
Filled with engaging, open, and honest conversations, the Summit provided a safe platform for differing opinions, which were expressed respectfully and challenged thoughtfully—exactly the kind of discourse we aimed to encourage.
We are grateful to the students and teachers who attended and worked hard to propose changes to school policies. Our next step is to analyse the findings of the summit data.
