Inclusive Sport: Black History Month Webinar Package

Celebrate Black History Month in October 2022 ‘Time for Change: Action Not Words’ across your whole organisation with our in-house webinars.

What is the Inclusive Sport Black History Month webinar package?

We have collated a suite of Black History Month webinars to celebrate the month and help you feel equipped with the language and knowledge to become a more active ally.  These webinars can be delivered in-house individually or as a package, by our expert Inclusive Sport Team.

The theme for Black History Month 2022 is ‘Time for Change: Action Not Words’. It highlights that while we need to learn from and acknowledge our history, we cannot move forward without action and working together to achieve the shared goals of equality and equity.

This requires allies to step up and work to support and make space for Black people. Our webinars hope to provide better understanding in order to champion allyship within the workplace.

All of these webinars will have a specific focus on sport and physical activity in both funded and professional sport environments. 

They can be delivered during Black History Month, or you can use them to keep the conversation going within your organisation and schedule the webinars over a number of months – we can be flexible and are open to discuss your specific requirements.

What to expect:

Format: Webinars with interaction on Zoom polls, Chat Box, Slido and Mentimeter

Platform: Zoom, Teams, Webex, or your preferred platform

Number of attendees: Maximum of 250. We can also record webinars so you can make them available to colleagues who were not able to attend.

Length of individual webinars: 1 hour

Sport-specific content: All the webinars will be delivered by our expert Inclusive Sport Team and will include sport-focused case studies and examples.
