Join a Working Group

We are looking for people to join one of our working groups. Could this be you? Maybe you are interested in communications, or finance? Or perhaps you’d be more interested in shaping Equity, Diversity and Inclusion?

The working Groups currently include artists and arts organisations, CDA researchers, arts administrators, Artist Union members, curators, writers, communications officers, project managers, mentorists and finance officers based across Yorkshire & Humber in Kirklees & Calderdale, Sheffield, Rotherham, Hull & Leeds.

We are committed to ensuring that our working groups are representative of the diversity of Yorkshire & Humber and would like to encourage applications from people from the global majority*, those people with lived experience of disability and/or neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ and working class backgrounds.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in finding out more about, then download our Recruitment Pack and get in touch. Its a simple process. We’ll just ask you to answer four simple questions ( see recruitment pack) and ask you email that to us at: info@yvan.org.uk. Please also complete and return an Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form – this information will be treated confidentially.

*Global Majority is a collective term that first and foremost speaks to and encourages those so-called to think of themselves as belonging to the global majority. It refers to people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities'.
