Equality4U 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. You will have a chance to look at the current issues that are being campaigned on and how you can get involved.

The event consists of interactive workshops on each campaign, plenary sessions and a lively panel discussion with guest speakers from external organisations.

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. Should you consider yourself to be a member of two or more of these groups, it will be possible to attend two different campaign workshops out of the four available, during the course of the day.

This event is being run in partnership with British Youth Council member – The National Union of Students – as part of their ongoing liberation campaigns. This is also an opportunity for your voice to contribute directly to the shaping of British Youth Council policy on each of these campaigns.   

Lunch and refreshments will be provided and reasonable transportation costs will be reimbursed*.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call Jo on 020 7332 2649 or email jo.crawford@byc.org.uk.
