Dear all
With apologies for cross-posting.
As you may be aware Black History Month is being promoted throughout Britain during the month of October. The aims of Black History Month are to promote knowledge of Black history and experience and to heighten the confidence and awareness of Black people in their cultural heritage. Approximately 1400 Black History Month events have taken place in the past, with numbers increasing as awareness grows.
The Equality Challenge Unit is always interested to hear how institutions are celebrating Black History Month. We are currently putting together institutes' initiatives as a means of sharing information.
With this in mind, if you would like to tell us about work your institution is doing to celebrate Black History Month or if you have anything you would like to emphasise, we can happily provide a link to your website via our own website.
Please feel free to send the ECU information on your Black History Month events and initiatives with a link to your website to me off-list. The link can then be featured on the ECU website as a means of sharing information with the sector.
If you would like to speak further about this then please feel free to give me a call.
Many thanks
Jerome
