A training environment for tutors to practise facilitating racially charged group dynamics.

AI simulation — prototype
This tool is an AI-generated simulation trained on a limited synthetic dataset that has been reviewed by qualified psychotherapists. It is intended for training purposes only. As with all AI systems, responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, or reflect unintended bias. It should not be used as a substitute for clinical supervision or professional judgement.
The group
Marcus
Black British man, early 40s, teacher. Carries racial stress quietly. Tests the room before opening up.
Priya
British South Asian woman, late 20s, bisexual. Navigates invisibility on multiple fronts. Feels pressure to be the 'good' minority.
Arlo
Mixed-race, trans, autistic, early 30s. Direct to the point of discomfort. Often says what others feel but won't name.
Daniel
White man, late 30s, ADHD. Well-meaning but impulsive. Takes up space without realising it.
Tom
White man, mid 40s. Measured and analytical. Tends to intellectualise racial pain or reframe it as universal.
Bea
White woman, late 20s. Anxious to be a good ally. Can become distressed when challenged, inadvertently re-centring herself.
Fran
White woman, early 40s. More self-aware than Bea but prone to silence, or speaking in ways that feel performative.

Opening dynamic
A — Slow burn
The group begins settled. Tension builds gradually as a comment from Daniel or Tom lands badly on Marcus or Priya.
B — Already activated
Something has happened before the tutor arrived. A comment from last week sits unspoken in the room.
C — Arlo as catalyst
Arlo names something directly and early that others have been avoiding. The group fractures around whether to engage or deflect.
D — Bea centres herself
An emotional response from Bea pulls focus away from a racialised member's experience.
