MY Cultur-ED

Helping to build a better tomorrow by culturally educating the children of today & those they learn from

“We must not only learn to tolerate our differences. We must welcome them as the richness and diversity which can lead to true intelligence.”

- Albert Einstein

“Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.”

-Jawaharlal Nehru

At MY Cultur-ED consultancy, we specialise in supporting schools in meeting their statutory duty to culturally develop their pupils, and value cultural diversity and inclusion. Educating pupils about different cultures enriches their learning experience and improves their attainment levels and the whole school community.

It also highlights our shared humanity, and pride in our diverse cultural heritages, which helps to foster community cohesion. We firmly believe that our cultural differences should not divide us, but rather cultural diversity brings enriching insights that connect us all to our common humanity. 

We understand that time is at a premium for school leaders, but partnering with us will significantly enhance your efforts, accelerate progress, and deliver positive outcomes in these areas.

    Opportunity for pupils to celebrate and learn about their own cultural heritage and that of their peers. It’s an important way for children and staff to get to know each other and for pupils to feel seen and heard.

  • ©Explaining and Embracing Cultural Differences

    We explain the biology behind differences in skin colour and meaning of ethnicity. We explore cultural differences and the importance of embracing these differences to create a more inclusive school community and society. For age appropriate groups, we look at privilege and disadvantage based on your ethnicity.

    Racial & cultural literacy

  • ©CDP for Staff

    Overview of what cultural development is and why it’s important. Looks at how staff can develop cultural competency in and outside the classroom, in their interaction with all pupils, and if needed, how to effectively respond to racist incidents. We look at how teachers can incorporate racial literacy into their teaching, so they deliver a contextualised, diverse curriculum. We also look at how racial/cultural biases can negatively impact on teaching and ways to prevent this.

    Explains what cultural development is, how to support cultural awareness at home and why it’s an important life skill for children and young people to develop. We highlight the importance of celebrating and embracing cultural diversity. We also support parents/carers with the confidence and tools to have those sometimes difficult but necessary conversations on issues around race/ethnicity, discrimination and racism.

    We explore racial discrimination and prejudice, with a deep dive into language, stereotypes and racist insults/slurs. We look at how to effectively call these out, challenge and correct. Highlights why language matters and how it can advance/regress cultural and racial equity and inclusion. Opportunity for pupils to discuss and share their own experiences/reflections.

  • ©MY Cultur-ED Guest Day

    Our special guest day is a fabulous fun day, where we bring a special guest into the school to introduce the children to something culturally unique, whether it be learning a new instrument, a new style of dance, drama, fashion or an award winning author for World Book Day. This is a wonderful way to enrich lives and increase representation of under-represented groups.
