Be The Change is an event series run by Tramshed Tech that aims to highlight partners who are advocating change, support collaboration for change-making action, and ensure the equality agenda across all protected characteristic groups remains current and in the spotlight. The idea is to raise awareness for underrepresented groups and create individual connections.
In the first of these events in October focusing on Equality and Inclusion, we heard from Paul Higgins (watch), Janet Onyia (watch) and Chris Hardess (watch). Shedding light on many issues that can lead to discrimination, we learned that 1 in 7 people suffer from a neurological condition, that tech workers face age-related discrimination, and that over three quarters (77%) of disabilities are invisible and should also be taken into consideration when discussing accessibility. Of course, we also heard about how we can act to be the change. Get a full rundown of the first event here.
The event series continues in the new year touching on many more important topics:
- 12th January 2021 Religion
- 2nd February 2021 Age
- 2nd March 2021 Women in Business / Tech
- 6th April 2021 Mental Health
- 4th May 2021 LGBTQI+
