WHAT CAN WE DO TO BE BETTER EQUALITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION ALLIES? - Wednesday, 17 July, 2019. 10am - 12 noon

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.
