The Black Leadership Group’s annual conference on 21st March.
I am delighted to be speaking at the Black Leadership Group’s annual conference on 21st March.
It is called Tracks, Trails and Threads: Courageous Leadership in a Fractured World, and will take place across five venues UK-wide – in Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London – and online.
This unique and high profile hybrid event, coinciding with the UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, will bring together people to discuss and shape actions for achieving an anti-racist society and ethnic equity for all.
Through a thought-provoking blend of tracks, trails and threads, keynotes, provocations, roundtable conversations, case studies, collaborative research, and calls to action, the conference will:
explore with us the role and imperative of courageous leadership in the fight for an anti-racist world
hear from trailblazers that are challenging the status quo, by pushing boundaries with initiatives on anti-racism that are making a difference
learn how system leaders are proactively applying the BLG 10 Point Plan to embed an anti-racist culture
discover how educational leaders are invested in co-creation using the anti-racist principles and tools developed to galvanise the energy and talent of teachers, students, and communities
gain opportunities to consider the applicability of the anti-racist lens within different global contexts
learn about the role of artificial intelligence applications in profiling bias and racial prejudice in recruitment, promotion and training
take back to your organisation vital publications to inform your anti-racist strategy
Sponsored by Google for Education, the event is aimed at leaders and practitioners from all levels and backgrounds who share a desire to heal division, eliminate racism and advance anti-racism to create and sustain a more equitable society. It is for individuals and organisations in public and private, civil society, specialist sectors such as education, health, creative. Human Resource professionals. Researchers. Decision-makers. Influencers and thought leaders.
Courageous leadership is at the centre of our BLG conference conversations that are designed to be both provocative and optimistic. The challenge for leaders and their organisations is no longer about being “not racist”. The contemporary question is “How anti-racist are we?”
Join me and my colleagues on 21st March and be part of the change.
