  • Date: 18 Feb 2011
  • Location/venue: Scotland's Colleges, Argyll Court, Stirling

This workshop is being organised by the HEA and Scotland's Colleges as part of a three-year programme of work focussing on further embedding equality and diversity within the curriculum in Scotland. It provides an opportunity for practitioners and managers to both share practice and help to shape future content of the Embedding equality and diversity in the curriculum programme. Through cross-institutional discussion, participants will share practice, discuss strategies for embedding equality and diversity in the curriculum, identify sector priorities for support to embed equality and diversity in the curriculum and develop a vision for a high quality and inclusive learning experience for all students.

Aims

  • To situate the Embedding equality and diversity in the curriculum programme within the broader context of the Scottish Funding Council's equality and diversity framework.
  • To report on the findings of a survey to identify institutional strengths and achievements, priority areas for development and support needs.
  • To enable the sharing of practice and identify institutional priorities and support needs.
  • To discuss strategies for embedding equality and diversity in the curriculum.
  • To develop a vision for a high quality and inclusive learning experience for all students.
