The entire point of The World Reimagined is to create a moment and a platform that honours and supports the countless people and organisations across Leicester who do the work of making racial equality a reality – and to share it with more people. And so we’ve developed the Inspire Programme – which invites you to host activities and events during The World Reimagined (13 August to 31 October 2022) which speak to our shared mission that we can showcase and promote far and wide.

We chose the word inspire deliberately – but it’s not about us, it’s about you and the work you do:

• For those long committed to the work of racial justice, you inspire with your expertise, commitment and impact.
• For those new to the mission and subject, you inspire with your openness and desire to step into the work and contribute.

Together, you show us that progress is possible. Hard, but possible. The programme is available to everyone across Leicester! So please – get involved (more details below):
