Since 1998 World Trust has produced films and learning modules that support and inspire people to understand social inequities through the lens of race-for the purpose of building more equitable relationships, communities and institutions.

Our documentary films address the historical causes and effects of racism, the societal impact of unconscious racial bias, and the implications for future generations.

Watch a clip from our film in progress: "Healing Justice".

World Trust offers Racial Equity Learning modules (REL) that support transformative learning while promoting institutional change. REL offers opportunities for self-discovery and collaboration that lends itself toward collective action.

We engage in building community, using the arts, honoring global indigenous wisdoms and providing learning resources - all of which develop critical thinking skills and new ways of perceiving bias and racial inequity.

As we review messages shaped by history, power, economics, and culture, we put race in the center of our intersectional analysis.

A resource for educators, trainers and leaders, REL is a new way to deepen the conversation around race and equity.

Every World Trust workshop, presentation and keynote is customized to address the specific issues, needs and aspirations of the organizations we work with.

Our mission is to provide transformative educational experiences that deconstruct the system of racial inequity, allowing new ideas and narratives on race to emerge.

We create environments that promote justice and healing while fostering a culture of respect and belonging.

Participants gain a practical framework for understanding and deconstructing systemic racial inequities, enabling positive dialogue and engagement in processes of institutional change.

"What we learned from Dr. Shakti Butler and World Trust's film Cracking the Codes had a profound effect on the entire story-telling team behind Zootopia. She led us in an honest and authentic conversation that opened our eyes to the potential of what our film could say. It not only changed, but also forever deepened the way we approached bias and stereotype. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Butler and her invaluable voice in Zootopia."
- Jared Bush (writer & co-director of Disney's Zootopia)

Facilitators & Trainers

For the last two summers we've offered a series of free film clips. Hundreds of thousands have watched the clips and reflected on the questions we offer to support your conversations about race with friends, family, colleagues and community.

This summer we're offering a series of blog posts that focus on how we can use this moment in history to come together to heal - ourselves, our communities and the systems that turn out inequity.

Together, one conversation at a time, we can help create a future where justice, healing and belonging is the norm.

All our summer offerings are housed on our blog.

“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

Our unit focuses on helping students understand and address the war on racism. Since each students has already read the focal text Rosa Parks: My Story prior to this unit, the students will be learning about events throughout history, personal experiences, and laws that all relate to racism. This is a social justice issue that children may see on television, in text, and in person at any moment. Since racism is an instance that may be viewed or experienced at any time, students must be educated on this topic so they are able to handle and take informed action for situations involving racism whenever they appear.
