The EIS Equality Department are now working with the EIS Glasgow BAME Network to develop a National Network for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Members.
The existing EIS Glasgow BAME Network has provided the opportunity for BAME Members within the Glasgow Local Authority to come together and share their experiences. During the pandemic, this Network has served as an important conduit for BAME voices within the Union.
The EIS Equality Department are now working with the EIS Glasgow BAME Network to develop a National Network for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Members.
This Network will be a space for BAME teaching professionals across Scotland to make connections and host discussions, whilst also providing specific training opportunities to address the prevailing barriers that exist for BAME teachers, and to grow your Union leadership skills.
The national BAME Network is being formed as a distinct space for EIS members who identify as Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic. To register to join the Network, or if you have any questions, please contact Ayumi Christoph
The EIS BAME Network will provide supportive space to connect with colleagues and feature a session highlighting some of the brilliant contributions of BAME educators to the education professions, reflecting also on challenges to overcome.
This meeting will focus on mental health and wellbeing from an equality perspective.
We hope you will be available to join us on 19th November. Please register your interest in attending by completing the online booking form.
