Generation 3.0

So I have recently started my internship with the Runnymede Trust and I must admit it has been a pretty nerve racking time. This is probably the first time I've worked in a job and been one hundred percent committed to the cause, which is why I am so glad they have assigned me to a project that I think is so worthwhile.

Generation 3.0 is a project which is aiming to end racism in a generation. Some may say that this is too ambitious. But without big dreams, how far would we really get? This project is based in Trafford and Croydon, where pop-up shops will be happening later this year so that these communities have the opportunity to come together and express their opinion on racism and how to end it.

If there is any doubt to what this can do, I will answer that for you now. To create a space where people's voices are being heard, as well as the opportunity for them to hear other peoples voices is aimed to create positive dialogue and so people can share a good thing and unite against racism. That unnecessary hate which holds us all back.

I just hope people give it a chance. It's an opportunity for a better future.
