Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Learning Opportunities

This event was to help attendees who were facilitating their own internal Safe Space sessions to understand some of the key considerations when hosting these sessions, it includes:

• Enable brave conversations
• Facilitate uncomfortable discussions
• Drive meaningful change

#MyNameIs is a simple but highly impactful solution from Race Equality Matters that ensures the correct pronunciation of people’s names.

The aim is to:

• Get people’s names right, which creates the opportunity for people to feel wanted, to feel like they belong, and to be treated with respect.
• Ensure the meaning, heritage, and identity behind our names are not taken away.

This recording explains why you should get involved in the #MyNameIs campaign.

Headspace work to break the stigma of mental health and what is portrayed and perceived. They offer a range of bespoke innovative creative training courses.

​All workshops are co-developed and co-delivered by Mental Health practitioners and peers with over 20 years experience in front-line NHS services, research and creative facilitation. Our training is engaging and interactive to support the exploration and assimilation of complex issues with an intent to develop jointly generated practical change.

This opportunity is for people from racialised backgrounds who work or volunteer to help people live more active lives in Greater Manchester, are not in senior leadership positions and have experienced barriers to leadership to come together in a safe peer support space.  Alongside a peer support space it also offers access to mentorship, relevant workshops and networking opportunities, a small fund to help shape your own personal development and signpost to pathways and opportunities to influence change in Greater Manchester.
