Let's Be Heard – Sharing Scotland's COVID Experience
This platform is where people can share their experiences with the Scottish COVID-19 Inquiry. This stage of Let’s Be Heard will run until 31 October.
An introduction to Race and Equity Issues
This in person, one-day workshop aims to enable participants to:
- develop a shared understanding of the systematic way racism is maintained and perpetuated and the impact on feelings, behaviour and relationships at work (participants will be asked to draw parallels with other ‘isms’ as well as be conscious of the added complexities of intersectionality); and
- consider ways to use their own influence to challenge racism and promote a culture of inclusion both internally and with external partners and stakeholders.
The workshop will include sessions on the following:
- The systematic nature of racism
- The impact of power inequalities on individuals, behaviour and relationships
- Unconscious bias and cognitive dissonance
- Equity issues and good practice (regarding communication styles and language)
- Sources of power and the use of personal power
- 4 steps to creating an inclusive culture

On the call, we also highlighted SCVO's own guide to using generative AI responsibly.
Finally, on 23 August we'll be joined by Elaine Brown and Martina Johnston-Gray for a great discussion on how device reuse can make digital inclusion greener.
