Equality4U Campaigning Event (2012) (FREE Event with Travel Bursary)
Friday 17th February 2012, Stafford.
Equality4U 2012 (Campaigning Event) is a chance for young people to explore four key human rights campaigns for groups within society that face discrimination. We will be looking at what equality is and how it affects young people as individuals as well as exploring the history of each campaign and the reasons why the fight for equality goes on.
This is the second Equality4U event and builds on the success of the 2011 event. The event consists of interactive workshops and plenary sessions. This event is also an opportunity for young people’s voices to contribute directly to the shaping of British Youth Council policy on each of these areas.
This event is open to young people (under 25) who self define into one or more of the following groups – as laid out within the BYC rule book:
• Young black and ethnic minority people;
• Young disabled people;
• Young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people;
• Young women
Please base your ticket selection on the primary campaign that you would like to explore in more detail.
This is a FREE event, however, spaces are limited. BYC will provide a travel bursary of up to £40 for each young person attending. Lunch and light refreshments will also be provided. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Darren on 020 7250 8380 or email darren.matthews@byc.org.uk
