Equality & Inclusion Workshop

Venue: St Budeaux Library, Plymouth

A one-off 5hr workshop: 10 am – 3 pm – £30 plus VAT

This workshop will raise awareness of equality issues in your work and community. It will explore how we think about different groups of people and what can get in the way of including everyone, especially those who are already marginalised. This is an emotive and complicated subject and the workshop will be facilitated in a way that is supportive, interesting and practical. The day will be an opportunity for lively discussions, reflections, and a chance to come up with ideas and solutions for how best to be inclusive.
