The JKP Writing Prize is back! This year, we’re looking for STORIES OF RESISTANCE.
The UK has a long history of injustice directed at people from minoritised groups – whether it’s through everyday acts of aggression or institutional discrimination on a wider scale. But over the years, generation to generation, people from minoritised communities have fought back, engaging in advocacy, activism, and acts of resistance to combat the discrimination they face and create positive change. We want to hear these stories of resistance.
- Stories that give voice to untold British history
- Stories handed down by grandparents and families
- Stories of individual bravery and humanity
- Stories of community activism
- Stories which make us rethink British identity
- Stories still being created today
Do you have a story to tell?
