Speaker: Abid Hussain , Director Diversity at Arts Council England

This workshop will share learning from diversity initiatives and actions in England to develop a more inclusive arts and cultural sector. The workshop will explore the impact of the ‚Creative Case for Diversity‘ and how it has influenced the development of a new Inclusivity and Relevance framework to support arts and cultural organisations to diversify their workforce, leadership and governance as well as their creative programmes. Workshop participants will also explore how they can become more relevant to communities that are not currently engaging with their activity. Delegates attending the session will have an opportunity to practically workshop what changes they can make to their organisations to make them more inclusive of and relevant to the communities they serve.
