Equity, diversity and inclusion conference (INDEX): Identity, belonging and connectedness, 28.09.21

28 September 2021 @ 9:00 am - 4:30 pm

28 September @ 9.00am – 4.30pm

Course Outline

The tumultuous events of the past 18 months continue to resonate across the world. Many schools have prioritised focusing on the complex issues surrounding equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and are moving forward with this work. Our second INDEX (inclusion and diversity excellence) conference will focus on the themes of identity, belonging and connectedness, which currently run as a ‘golden thread’ through much of this work. Our programme of knowledgeable speakers, with expertise across a range of EDI areas, will challenge our thinking as they explore EDI issues through the lens of identity, belonging and connectedness. This conference is fully inclusive and entirely suitable for any member of staff but will be particularly useful for staff in leadership roles.
