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!

    Graham,
    I would with the greatest respect, feel that you are overreacting to a simple request for some “role models” to help promote engineering.  I don’t think that anyone is “excluding” you, they just have a particular purpose in mind.

    I recall some years ago turning up well-intentioned to a “younger members event” at a top London University. At the time I was still usually “suited and booted” and was frankly “like a fish out of water” among an ethnically diverse younger group. They were friendly and respectful, but we just didn’t have much in common. I don’t go to nightclubs anymore either, they don’t play enough James Brown for me ?
