As part of LCC’s ongoing efforts to create an equitable and inclusive experience for all of its community, a series of new activities are on offer to staff through July. These are specifically aimed at developing anti-racist cultures and practices, in relation to creative practice, curricula and pedagogy, as well as leadership and management.
The programme includes synchronous events for colleagues to join in real-time and a range of asynchronous activities and resources that can be engaged with off-line, at times that suit, including an evolving anti-racism resource list.
Activities will be running through a dedicated LCC Anti-racism Teams site. Colleagues can book onto the synchronous events through ESS and gain access to asynchronous activities by emailing staff development coordinator, Gifty Tingle: g.tingle@arts.ac.uk
