Takeaways. Different events have very different expectations/requirements/cultures affecting EDI. Intentionality w/principles, policies & practices is crucial. Systemic issues of power, privilege, & discrimination exist & need to be called out. Change isn’t easy or immediate 2/2

What a valuable @Fest_Connect @CCSE_UWS workshop we hosted today on EDI in festivals & events. Great to see what @GlasgowMela & @glasgowlife are doing in this space and @AneelaMckenna shared insights from @CyclingWorlds 1/2

Sport at its best brings excitement, uncertainty of outcome, and fan/spectator involvement. Glasgow has done a great job today w/ the Mixed Relay para-cycling @UCI_paracycling @CyclingWorlds @Spiritof2012 @CCSE_UWS

[FestivalsConnect @Fest_Connect]

Here’s a piece for our partners @Spiritof2012 on the #FestivalsConnect project and how we’re exploring the power of the @CyclingWorlds https://t.co/uo4NXsuopR @UniWestScotland @CCSE_UWS

[FestivalsConnect @Fest_Connect]

The @CyclingWorlds opening ceremony underway. Already noticeable how much attention paid to inclusivity in words and representation on stage. Also a good balance of local artistic talent alongside well know faces #FestivalsConnect

[FestivalsConnect @Fest_Connect]

BBC is UK media partner @CyclingWorlds in Glasgow. Good to see morning TV report on activities ‘beyond the races’. £3m legacy ‘activation’ work by @glasgowlife @GlasgowCC highlighted inc Go Cycling Glasgow fund reaching non-traditional groups like Afghan United @Spiritof2012
