EIS Joint Equality Networks Gathering: Let’s change the story

The EIS has for some time been concerned with a rise in disinformed and prejudicial narratives within society, and educational establishments. These harmful stories have real life impacts on our members, our learners, and our wider communities.

While many crucial voices go unheard within these narratives, prejudicial storytellers seem to take up greater space, gaining increased influence and following by tapping into people’s legitimate concerns about the future.

How can we communicate in ways that resonate and help build effective counter narratives for equality and social justice?

This Joint Equality Networks Meeting is open to members who are disabled, neurodivergent, Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or under 30 years of age. It is also open to all EIS Equality Representatives.

  • Key principles when addressing disinformation / prejudicial narratives (messages from our campaign)

  • Communication that cuts through the noise (methods / format)

  • Practice sessions: effective social dialogue 

  • Safety, wellbeing and solidarity   

We will have food and snacks available and space for people to chat and catch up.
