The BRISWA 2.0 project aims to provide an understanding of the different types of racism from a systemic
perspective, provide insights into how to mitigate them and establish a Higher Education course on racism.

The specific objectives are:

• to use a systemic approach to understand racism in higher education;
• to develop tools for students to experiment with the knowledge and test policies;
• to test students’ knowledge through a simulation pilot training.

Its concrete results include:

• A Report on the educational needs of universities on teaching about racism;
• Textbooks for students on manifestations of racism, and how to fight against it;
• An interactive learning environment that will allow students to experiment on potential policies
• A training session as part of the university course that will allow students to test their knowledge.

During its 36-month lifetime, the BRISWA 2.0 project will directly and indirectly positively impact at least:

• 24 students, who will be actively involved in the project.
• 24 educational and social operators, who will be actively involved in the project. 
• 100 stakeholders, who will be informed about the project.
• 12 organisations involved beyond the project partnership.
