4theRegion is organising this year’s Regional Race Equality & Social Justice Conference to address the challenge facing all organisations and businesses in Wales, as well as BAME young people and professionals:

How do we get more BAME people into senior roles in business and society?

While BAME young people are achieving well in education, the attainment gap begins to widen when it comes to securing their first job, and there is a big disparity in the number of BAME people promoted to senior roles, or putting themselves forward for leadership roles in politics, business and society.

We’ll be hearing from:

• High level speakers to help us all understand the reasons for this and what we can do to address it within our own organisations;
• A youth panel talking about their own experiences;
• An inspiring panel of young BAME leaders from across the region.

We are also putting Race Equality into its wider social context, with an insightful panel discussion about poverty, equalities and social justice.

In partnership with Race Council Cymru, the “Everyone Matters” conference will bring together all those with an interest in social justice and race equality, to discuss the challenges facing our region, the opportunities we should be grasping, and what we can all do to ensure South West Wales is a safer, more equal, healthier and more cohesive regional economy where everyone’s well-being really matters.

The event takes place at the Grand Theatre in Swansea on 9th October, and businesses are invited to attend, exhibit and sponsor.
