Launch of Talking Equality
The Gallery, 70
Cowcross Street, London EC1M 6EJ
Please tell Amelia Butt know if
you would like to attend ameliab@futurefoundation.net |
'Talking Equality' is a joint publication with the Equal
Opportunities Commission, launched with the sponsorship of KPMG. In it we
explore public attitudes towards equality taking as our starting point
fascinating new research from the Future Foundation that suggests a
dis-connect between the way in which Government, employers and social
policy bodies approach equality, and the experience, outlook and language
of the public.
The implications of 'Talking Equality' represent a
challenge for all thoseinvolved in equality, including Government,
employers and social policybodies. How should we re-connect equality
strategies with those they seek tohelp? How can we recognise the
complex nature of equality today? Whatlanguage should we be using to
make audiences feel that equality debates arerelevant to
them?
There will be short introductions to the work from the EOC,
KPMG and the Future Foundation but perhaps more importantly the evening
will provide an opportunity to informally discuss the issues with a wide
range of people over a glass of wine. |
