Diversity Matters Awareness Week #DMAW16 was launched in April 2016, funded by UAL (University of the Arts London) through a student-staff collaboration project. I curated a week of events to reflect the demands to increase the diversity of BAME representation at UAL, and came up with “Diversity Matters Awareness Week: Let’s Talk About Race” which took place on the 18th -23rd April 2016.
Supported by UAL (Teaching and Learning Exchange), UAL Diversity Team, GEMS, Shades of Noir and SUARTS.
This concept was highly successful, and has been recognised by HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council England) for Sector Leading and innovative practice in Equality & Diversity, as well as mentioned in a paper I gave at the ECU (Equality Challenge Unit) national conference November 2016.
I'm able to curate "Diversity Matters Awareness Week/Day" tailor-made specific to Education Institutions, corpoortate companies, and organisations' Equality & Diversity needs. Please contact me kai@diversity-matters.org.uk
