Hemisphere is an innovative digital programme that helps schools disrupt bias and build racial literacy. The programme is the latest innovation from Rare, multi award-winning experts in race equity in education and employment. Trusted by leading educational institutions and top-tier employers alike, Hemisphere is a whole-school approach to racial literacy and belonging.

From hair to names to cultural norms, Hemisphere provides teachers, staff and governors (EYFS-KS5) with a toolkit to understand, safeguard and nourish minority ethnic students, and empowers pupils (KS3-5) in their peer-to-peer interactions.

It blends government data, Rare’s unique datasets and original research, animations, and interactive exercises to distil two decades of knowledge into one hour of CPD for staff, and a 30-minute session for students. Training is completed annually, with the first year focused on the experiences of students of Black heritage, the second on South Asian heritage and the third on Chinese heritage.

“Hemisphere’s high-quality research and training goes beyond simply pointing out the problem. The online programme is engaging, informative and inspirational. It is also grounded in the experience of our students. It’s the most thought-provoking and fascinating professional development of the year.”
Dr Richard Harrold, Director of Safeguarding and Compliance, The American School in London
