Diversity Matters in Creative Industries

Diversity Matters in Creative Industries

The toolkit is intended for students to think about practical challenges and strategies that circulate around diversity in the cultural and creative industries.
The toolkit MUST demonstrate consideration of intersectionality throughout, as well as think critically about the relationship between diversity and inequality.
Identify a specific problem, and a sector or institution for which the toolkit is designed. This is your justification for the need of the toolkit, where you provide the rationale for the importance of your toolkit.
