Changing Attitudes

A SOCIETY SAFE FROM PREJUDICE & DISCRIMINATION

Using Anne Frank’s life and diary as a starting point, we empower young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to challenge all forms of prejudice and discrimination. In doing so, we partner with schools, local authorities, the criminal justice sector and others to deliver educational programmes alongside acclaimed exhibitions to young people in a variety of settings.

EFFECTIVELY CHALLENGING PREJUDICE

For young people taking part in the Anne Frank Trust’s schools & Ambassadors’ programme the result is positive, lasting attitudinal change. The programme educates young people about the roots and consequences of prejudice and discrimination, and increases their understanding of and respect for those of different faiths, cultures & identities. As Ambassadors they are trained to become socially aware and active members of society, developing life skills that enable them to recognise and challenge all forms of prejudice and amplify Anne Frank’s message of social justice and equality for all.
