A free event in partnership with the British
Science Association
Book your FREE place here
The science engagement sector is
increasingly talking about diversity, and the need to make our activities
available and inclusive to as wider group of people as possible. Many of us
working in science engagement are freelance, part of small organisations, or
cater to a specific established audience – but there’s a role for us all to
play as allies.
This event will explore how we can
make better use of the facilities and resources we control to support equality,
diversity and inclusion. The aim is to identify the actions we can all commit
to doing to make a difference, and support diverse practitioners,
organisations, and organisers even when they aren’t directly involved in our
work.
Join us for a panel discussion and
networking session to share practical actions that engagement managers, venues,
event organisers, and presenters can use.
Full list of panel members to be
announced soon.
