Diversity Arts Network meeting – legacy of the Black Lives Matter movement
On the first anniversary of George Floyd’s murder and the recent conviction we look back at how this and the BLM protests following this has changed us. It has greatly influenced many of us to look at our own behaviours, working practices, prejudices and biases which will help to develop our cultural landscape in the future. We are inviting you to share your thoughts on how this has affected you. In breakout rooms you will also have an opportunity to discuss challenges you face in taking Equality, Diversity and Inclusion work forward, and about what you think needs to change.
Facilitator
