Equity/Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity (EDI) Summer School
The main objective of the EDI Summer School is to help the students gain a better understanding of Equality, Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity and its importance in building inclusive futures. Through interactive academic sessions and workshops, students will put their knowledge, experiences and learnings into practice while participating in cultural exchange, interacting with UEA Student Ambassadors and staff during the academic sessions. The programme focusses on helping students understand how to create environments and cultures where every individual can feel safe, experiences a sense of belonging, and is empowered to achieve their full potential.
The programme features a mix of seminar-style and workshop-style sessions held by UEA’s academic colleagues from various faculties, covering topics such as Introduction to EDI across the UK and the participants' home country and in the Higher Education sector, Feminist Perspectives in Economics, Cultural Economics and the Economics of Wellbeing, and Communications Access and Communications Making Workshop. The academic delivery components of the programme conclude with a Gender Studies and Zine Making Workshop, providing students with the platform to express what EDI means to them.
