Our college is planning an equal ops day talks etc... for staff and students, run by the care team for care students. We have never been before but our team is part of this team, so can get involved..... This is part of an email today: Can all staff have a think and if they know anyone who could contribute to these seminars please let me know Monday am The Law and equality of opportunity pm Gender and sexuality Tuesday am Disability pm Diversity (includes culture/faith/race and lifestyle) diversity could include anyone who has an alternative lifestyle,. we have had speakers on Hells Angels. Humanism. Vegans etc. Please let me know any leads. Im wondering if i can get anyone into do a talk on veganism - link it into healthy eating/lifestyle (dont think im brave enough myself ) Things are getting better at college in the canteen due to every child matters scheme which includes healthy eating - smoothies start next week - sugar free just fruit ones im told! and there was vegan chilli on the menu ;D Might try to get smoothie bar owner i know to do demo for students at this event? Got to see who i can find now - be so good to have a vegan talk!!! Alison

That sounds good Alison, maybe someone from the Vegan Society would come and do a talk for you

Do the Vegan Soc have local contacts who go places doing talks? Friend of mine goes to schools etc talking about veganism - this might be through VIVA though. Try them too.

A friend of mine is a school speaker for Viva but the West Midlands is probably too far for her to travel. Do contact Viva though as they have speakers all over the country.

Thanks will do, will also ask the boss who did the talk before, I hope there would not be too many 'guidelines' on what can be discussed - these are all over 16s students! A Viva speaker would be good will email them. If not I can have a go
