Teachers will discuss parts of the subject that they find difficult to teach and work on lesson plans with experts on how to broach the issue.

Stuart Foster, director of the project, said: "There are increasing concerns in society about intolerance and racism. The BNP is coming to the forefront, and there's increased anti-Semitism."
