BAME Volunteers Required

Erusa Adizie
Do you work in Energy and identify as ‘BAME’?
I am developing a STEM activity for schools to increase awareness and spark curiosity about climate change, the environment and energy amongst students.   The activity will highlight the roles that BAME engineers and scientists play in the journey to Net Zero in a fun and interactive way.
The intention is also to boost awareness of the educational backgrounds and routes to the roles of BAME engineers and scientists and provide inspiration of future careers.
I am looking for volunteers who want to motivate young people to further consider the energy field.  If you would be interested in being involved or would like more information please contact me!

    Eruza,

    Whilst not BAME myself I totally agree with the need to have good role models and would be fully supportive of your request. There is a lot of evidence suggesting that young people are influenced by the people they identify with whether that be race, colour, gender or other identifying characteristics.

    As to the IET not 'discriminating' we only have to look at Young Woman Engineer or WISE to see that these type of schemes to work and encourage under represented groups to engage.


    Hope you get plenty of volunteers !
