BAME Volunteers Required

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!

This call for "BAME" volunteers is totally inappropriate. What about people of different religions? They are minorities too. And disabled people?

Encouraging women in engineering is completely appropriate as they make up 50% of the population.

But this post is the start of a slippery slope, and the IET should not be involved in socio-political action of this type.
