The Ministry of Equality is delighted to announce further training offered as part of it ‘Equality means Business’ series of awareness seminars next week as part of its initiative and drive to promote awareness and inclusion of individuals with disabilities in our community. This latest training, information and awareness sessions are in relation to provision and management of events and the Ministry of Equality has engaged with a specialist UK organization to deliver this. Attitude is Everything is a UK charity who have been delivering Disability Diversity training for 15 years and regularly advises on large public events in the UK including concerts and live performances, and how these can be made more accessible. They have worked with a number of popular UK festivals (including Glastonbury and Festival Republic) as well as a number of entertainment venues.
The bespoke training will take place over a number of days next week to cater for the different focus of the various businesses and their staff. In addition to the training provided to the public sector,
the Ministry of Equality is also offering local, private promoters the chance to attend a morning training session at the University of Gibraltar on Wednesday 22nd February 2017. A further
seminar will be held at the University of Gibraltar on Thursday 23rd February 2017 which will be geared to establishments, like bars and hotels, that provide entertainment. Both seminars will
start at 9.00 am.
Anyone wishing to attend any of these seminars should first register their interest with the Ministry of Equality. Participation for all seminars is free, and given the interest and demand already
expressed there will be limited spaces available and these will be given on a first come, first served basis. These seminars compliment previous training seminars and there will be many more, on other aspects as well, throughout the year.
