Speaker: Yasmina Koné, Deputy Lead, Hemisphere Education

Yasmina Koné, Deputy Lead, Hemisphere Education

Yasmina has spent the past decade working at top-tier companies to open access to opportunity for diverse talent. With a track-record of driving strategic growth and innovation, she’s featured in media outlets including the BBC, The Lawyer and Black Tech Fest speaking on diversity and inclusion, tech for good, innovation and early talent strategies. In her current role, she is driving the adoption of Hemisphere Education in UK schools – a cutting-edge brain training platform disrupting bias and improving racial literacy.  

Join us for an interactive workshop on how independent schools can create a safe and supportive learning environment for students of Black heritage. Following the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, many schools found themselves on the back foot, sparking a focus on Black pupils and inclusion. What’s happened since? Come for expert insights from multi-award winning race equity experts, Rare. Informed by two decades of working closely with young Black people in the education and corporate sectors, we’ll distil some of the lessons from Hemisphere, cutting-edge digital CPD training that gives schools a toolkit to understand, safeguard and nourish Black students. Leave with an understanding of: the specific ways in which bias against Black children shows up in schools, what schools are doing right, and how you can replicate that success.
