Setting hearts and minds free

An ecumenical conference for church youth workers has considered how the legacies of slavery in all its forms can still impact minority ethnic young people today, as the bicentenary year of the Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade comes to a close.

Coming at the end of Black History Month and being held during National Youth Work Week, the conference in November at St Catherine's House in London explored how youth work advisers and leaders can engage with the legacy of slavery to help and support young people to free their minds and build positive relationships within their families, their journeys of Christian faith, and their wider communities.

It was organised by the Youth Issues working group of the Church of England's Committee for Minority Ethnic Anglican Concerns.
