We need to talk about afro hair because it is important to empower the next generation of students with a historical and economical as well as a social understanding of what it means to have afro hair.
The history of afro hair is the history of colonialism, slavery and the imposition of Caucasian beauty standards. It has to change and become a celebration of natural beauty, traditions and arts  but also an informed discovery of the specificities of afro hair.

The Morning Break with Dorian Brown 13-05-22: What does/might effective sustainability education look like?

Dorian welcomes back sustainability in education gurus Alex Catallo and John Cannings who both have a huge wealth of experience working in the IB itself and also specifically with sustainability programmes in a range of different contexts. Alex and John are back for a deeper dive on sustainability education, what is working and how can it be better?
Hot off of the heels of the UK government’s recently published strategy for sustainability and climate change in schools, we examine the current provision of sustainability education in the IB and pick out what we feel is done well - providing some ideas for other programmes (like A Levels) to learn from. We also identify areas where it can be ‘better’ across the IB, not just in the curriculum provision but through the training of school staff and teachers.
The discussion importantly explores current (and future) possibilities with sustainability education, ranging from small actions to radical changes in educational philosophies, beliefs and systems. Expect your own thoughts on sustainability education to be challenged in this enthrallingly philosophical and introspective show!
