Innovative approaches to training, such as those developed through our Tides project, highlight a forward path. We have pioneered the use of virtual reality (VR) training scenarios to simulate the experiences of ethnically minoritised staff. This approach is designed to promote empathy and deeper understanding of their challenges and perspectives. By immersing NHS managers and senior leaders in these realistic scenarios, VR training can offer a powerful means to combat racism and discrimination. Racism, harassment and discrimination takes a terrible toll on ethnic minority NHS staff (theconversation.com) #racism #harassment #discrimination #nhs #vrtraining #maudsleylearning #tidesproject

At EchoX, we believe that everyone has a story to tell and that communities can reclaim space to define their narratives with their own voices. Our Northwest Cultural Resource Center (NCRC) is a collection of organizations, artists, events, and stories representing the diverse voices of the Northwest that connects individuals and families with area cultural organizations, artists, stories, opportunities, and events. The aim of the NCRC is to raise the digital visibility of local cultures, connect community with cultural resources through centralized databases, and amplify cross-generational ethnic community voices. It has five different components: 📣 the directory, a directory of community resources, organizations, groups, and artists; 🗞️ Voices, a digital library of stories engaging with nuanced, thoughtful narratives about culture, heritage, and identity; 🗓️ the calendar, a collection of community-oriented events in and around the Northwest; 👾 DIGITIZE, a platform for high school students and young adults to creatively and collaboratively engage in multimedia storytelling; and 📌 ENGAGE, a place to find jobs and opportunities in the Northwest. 🔗 https://echox.org #EchoXDirectory #EchoXVoices #EchoXCalendar #EchoXDIGITIZE #DIGITIZE #ENGAGEwithEchoX #EchoXNW #Community #Local #Culture #CommunityVoices #LocalVoices #YouthVoices
One of our key goals in #MuseITproject is to upgrade online spaces so that they are capable of hosting a wider array of human co-creativity for everyone, regardless of disabilities. We are doing this both by bringing together existing technology, and developing new software. 🎵 A particular focus is musical co-creativity: how can people write and play music together online, in a satisfying way? And how can online spaces designed around the needs of musicians with disabilities help them feel empowered and included? ⬇️ Read more about our work on the article below, written by our partner X-System ⬇️ #MuseITProject #Inclusion #Accessibility #Research #Technologies #EuropeanProject #Culture #Arts #People
"A geek is someone who finds an obsessive interest that most others don’t share and decides to pursue it intelligently, regardless of popularity." Sally Jenkins wrote this description of Olympic athletes in the Washington Post that sounds a LOT like the people we work with at the Partnership. "They have...a deep attentiveness...they have organization. Maybe most importantly, they have the resilient minds of researchers and engineers...They know you can only improve something by stressing it." https://lnkd.in/ezK-F_Mt Want to work with fun people who geek out about educating children for greatness?

Unity in our Community: We can all agree a community unified is way better than a community divided. But what does unity in our community look like ? If we can unlock our spirit animals and train them to fight for peace together, instead of always trying to unleash on one another, is this what will get us to the utopia that we have been fighting for for generations ? https://lnkd.in/egbCaRhC
