Developing diversity competence conference

 

The conference will be held on 23rd April 2015 at Our Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh on the theme of ‘developing diversity competence’.

By developing diversity competence – in our students and in our staff – we not only create a higher education environment in which all students can feel as though they belong, but we also equip them with vital intercultural and diversity skills that will enable them to succeed in a globalised and interconnected world.

 

This conference will focus on how we can ensure that they, and we, are able to negotiate this world in a manner that values, preserves, and responds to equality and diversity.

 

•         How do we develop student diversity competence through our learning, teaching and assessment practices?

•         How can we contribute to non-curricula activities to help our students develop diversity competence?

•         How do we ensure our staff are diversity competent so they can teach and support students in a manner that embeds equality and diversity?
