SAE Liverpool to host Northern Power
Women
SAE Liverpool is thrilled to be hosting
Northern Power Women (NPW) on 24 January 2018, who will be discussing important
issues around gender equality, namely in the creative industries, in a live
recording of their podcast.
Starting at 1pm and running until 3:30pm, SAE Liverpool has the pleasure of
welcoming NPW to the campus for an engaging afternoon discussing current
debates, in particular those concerning women in technology and media
industries.
NPW is a campaign to accelerate gender equality from the North. Their range of
events and awards bring together both women and men to become 'agents of
change', collectively helping organisations learn, engage and promote their aim
of increasing opportunities for women.
Radio 5 Live's Sam Walker will be chairing the event and leading the questions
for the 3 panellists, who each represent different aspects of the creative
industries. The session will be an eye opening discussion of all of their
personal career experiences, vitally increasing awareness of the issues that
still exist today.
Sam Walkers tells us:- "We're really excited to be bringing the NPW podcast to SAE Institute for
a live recording. Each month the podcast
is a place where women and men at all stages of their career can have frank and
engaging discussions about some of the biggest challenges that they're facing
today, both in and out of work. It's a platform where people can share hopes,
concerns and of course, brilliant advice based on their own experiences."
SAE students as well as the general public, both men and women, are invited to
take part in the insightful discussions, where they are free to ask questions
beforehand through NPW's 'Ask the Hive' set up. With the event concluding with a
networking session, students will also get an opportunity to speak to key people
in the industry and learn even more about this all important topic. Tickets to
attended can be obtained
online
Kate Corbin, Academic Coordinator SAE Liverpool comments:- "This podcast
and panel event is a great opportunity for students, staff and external
participants to engage in discussion around women's current and future roles in
the creative industry. The idea for the event originated from students at the
Liverpool campus and we hope it is the first of many similar events running at
SAE Liverpool."
