The #DiverseEd Regional Hub – Bristol 2025-26

Join us for a half-termly networking opportunity to connect with likeminded educators who are passionate about Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.

The #DiverseEd Bristol hub launched in Autumn 2023 with a #DiverseEd conference on Saturday 7th October – we then held 5 half-termly meet ups across the year, hosted by Bridge Learning Campus. Last academic year we moved the hub to be hosted by Bristol Cathedral Choir School and we had 6 half-termly meet ups across the year. This is our 3 year of running the hub network and based on feedback we will continue it at BCCS.

Our meet ups:

• Each half-term we will host an in-person 90 minute session for DEIB leaders, champions and advocates to come together to grow consciousness, build confidence and develop competence.

Each session will include:

• Being inspired by guest speakers
• Sharing best practice from the network
• Reflecting on current challenges
• Discussing what is having impact
• Networking with colleagues to forge collaborative projects
