Windrush 75: Shared past, shared future is a research project carried out by British Future.
This project will investigate how the Windrush 75 Anniversary can bring people together from different ethnic, social and political backgrounds. It aims to widen the coalition of organisations celebrating Windrush and to support practitioners in designing events. It will do this by national polling and focus groups, then producing a report, a toolkit, and presentations to offer guidance on messaging.
Project aims
- Use the celebration of Windrush’s anniversary to bring people together across divides.
- Produce resources to support future practititioners in organising events.
