Creative Equity Toolkit

I've been tempted by righteous anger against racists. It's not much help in changing society

A call to move the focus of the racial equity debate away from individual racism and towards structural racism.

Jordan’s Books@Café

Books@Café began life as the first internet cafe in the Middle East, becoming famous for its cheese fries, as well as providing information about HIV, sex and the arts at a time when these topics were regarded as controversial and taboo.  Today, it's a multi-faceted hub promoting equality and tolerance. 

This case study looks at how Books@Café created a safe space to empower marginalised communities.
