This can be helpful for students to imagine themselves within
your schools.

However, it is important to highlight that there should be

balance in how much diversity is represented to how many

ethnically diverse students there actually are within the
school to avoid demonstrating incorrect demographics.

It is also possible to create visually inclusive learning by

participating in different social awareness campaigns. During
Black History Month, schools can implement different

projects such as a Black Hall of Fame to highlight the success

stories of black students and staff members on campus.

Human library activities are also a great way to combat
discrimination and to create safe spaces for discussions.

Presenting historical bibliographies of prominent leaders

within different cultural backgrounds can be ways to create a

more visually inclusive learning environment.

Including ethnically identities in the curriculum

Diversifying the curriculum has been a common topic of
conversation within the educational sector. By increasing the

visibility of ethnically diverse figures and influences in

academia, all students can feel like they have a sense of

belonging and they can have a more enriched learning
experience as they actively engage with different groups of

people.
