Global good practice explored

Senior leaders and practitioners in global diversity from around the world gathered in London on 26th February for an event addressing the current and emerging challenges and opportunities of mainstreaming diversity in a global environment.

Exploring Good Practice, hosted by the British Council, in partnership with ORC Worldwide, brought together participants from a wide range of public and private sector organisations from around the world to discuss and share insights into good practice through relevant case studies (from India, China, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and South Africa), and from the practical experience of the presenters. The key aims of the day were to engage on the key issues, and the challenges of mainstreaming diversity within international organisations, share approaches by a range of organisations to mainstreaming equality and diversity across a global network and to identify good practice in implementing and progressing equality and diversity within international organisations. Fiona Bartells-Ellis, Head of the Equal Opportunities and Diversity Unit at the British Council described the conference as “a tremendous opportunity to debate engage with global diversity issues”.
