Imaginate is committed to being/ becoming an anti-racist organisation.
We uphold that an anti-racist approach is imperative to delivering work that nurtures and supports young audiences and those who work with them. We acknowledge that racism intersects with other forms of discrimination and recognise that developing an anti-racist approach means tackling all forms of oppression and injustice.
In 2020-21, we were part of a small working group to tackle racism in the sector, as part of the former Young Audiences Group (YAG), a collective of arts organisations and individuals in Scotland making work with and for children and young people. One of the main outcomes was the development of a document, setting out our anti-racist commitments.
We were also part of a global majority-led group initiated by Inc Arts to develop an anti-racism code of conduct. We encourage as many organisatons as possible to sign up to the code.
