Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Meeting
Wednesday 12th July, 13:00-14:00 over Zoom.
We invite you to this meeting run under the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion group which explores different topics and issues within the creative sector, where speakers bring knowledge from their specialty and there is space for questions and discussions relating to the topic of the meeting.
This month we would like to have an open agenda meeting where you can bring any questions or discussion related to EDI in the creative sector, using this as a safe space to discuss any challenges or things you'd like to talk through or gain more knowledge on.
Please send in any questions or thoughts before the meeting to info@yvan.org.uk. We will use some of these to facilitate part of the discussion. You're also welcome to just come along and see if anything arises during the meeting.
About the EDI group
The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion group is a development of a previous internal working group at YVAN. The group aims to challenge current practices, show commitment to mental and physical wellbeing and share knowledge, bringing together voices and lived experiences to help the creative and cultural sector in the Yorkshire and Humber region make better decisions.
We have a meeting every 6 weeks, each with a different topic, so you can come to those sessions of particular relevance.
YVAN do not claim to be the benchmark on EDI in the arts and acknowledge we will fail on occasion, but we are working towards best practice, alongside our national network through the Fair and Equitable campaign.
