Join Sadie for an inspiring session where we’ll explore how ethical vegan beliefs can deepen our understanding of Equalities, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) and foster a sense of belonging. Ethical veganism, rooted in compassion and respect for all living beings, promotes the idea that every creature deserves to live free from harm and exploitation. This principle aligns closely with EDI, advocating for the fair treatment and inclusion of all individuals, regardless of their background or identity. We'll discuss how ethical veganism promotes environmental sustainability by reducing our ecological footprint, conserving resources, and protecting biodiversity. This commitment to preserving the environment mirrors the EDI principle of creating inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive. Just as ethical vegans avoid products that harm animals, we can strive to eliminate practices and policies that marginalise or exclude certain groups. Ethical veganism encourages us to see the interconnectedness of all life, fostering empathy and understanding—key components of EDI. As part of the session, you’ll also be given ideas to take away for your own personal practices and to share with your students.

Since joining the trust in April last year, I have researched about neurodiversity and found myself gravitating towards learning all about ADHD. Since learning all about the traits, I am currently awaiting an assessment myself. I would like the opportunity to share my PowerPoint with you, so you can learn all about the traits, side effects of medication and how to manage students in your class. I am not a qualified professional so I may not have all the answers but to spread awareness is my ultimate goal.
