The session will look at:
Key principles to wider inclusion.
Overview of the investment from BBC for Diversity and Inclusion.
Working with commissioners to create different cultural intelligence.
How audiences have changed, and how they consume content. Do we understand our audience?
What the industry is currently doing to help underrepresented groups and how it can be improved.
How do the projects, mentoring schemes, fast track placements aimed at underrepresented groups make the participants feel? Are they being fed a narrative that makes them feel like an anomaly?
What can our industry and us as individuals do, to improve, learn and understand.
