SUMMARY:Online LGBTQ+ History Month Event
DESCRIPTION:Online LGBTQ+ History Month Event\nThis year marks 20 years since Section 28\, the law that banned “promotion of homosexuality” in the UK\, was repealed. \nBut while LGBTQ+ education and visibility has come a long way since then\, the echoes of Section 28 can still be heard today: from the 200\,000 people who recently signed a petition to remove LGBTQ+ education from the national curriculum in England\, to Florida’s notorious “Don’t Say Gay” law. \nEducation is one of the seven core principles of the co-operative movement\, which is why this LGBTQ+ History Month\, LGBTQ+ Co-operators will be holding an event on the importance of LGBTQ+-inclusive education to the furthering of equality\, looking at how far we’ve come since Section 28\, and how far we have to go. \nJoin us on Zoom on Thursday 23rd February at 6pm for an excellent panel of expert speakers including: \n🐝 Baroness Thornton\, Shadow Spokesperson for Equalities and Women’s Issues \n🐝 Olivia Blake MP \n🐝 Rico Jacob Chace\, Director of TransActual \n🐝 Victoria Newbould\, Inclusion Lead at Alton College \nThis online event will be live captioned for greater accessibility.

SUMMARY:Co-operation Live report launch– 'Lessons from Co-operatives in Education'
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Zoom as the Co-operative Party launches its report “Steps to Success: Lessons from Co-operatives in Education“. \nCo-operative societies have throughout their history provided excellent training and apprenticeship opportunities for people of all different backgrounds. Education and training is at the heart of the co-operative business ethos – with co-operatives providing opportunities across the UK\, often to people from the most disadvantaged backgrounds. \nThe Co-operative Party believes it is essential to take action to ensure adequate life-long learning and skills provision through high quality further education and apprenticeship.  This event will share more information about co-operative successes in skills training and apprenticeship schemes and how we are calling for better support for initiatives such as these to ensure that local government and employers are future-proofing their business with skilled\, knowledgeable and committed employees. \nSpeakers include Louise Timperley – Apprenticeship Manager at the Co-op\, Cllr Kim Powell – Cabinet Member for Businesses\, Jobs and Skills  at Lewisham Council and others tbc. \nThis online event will be live captioned for greater accessibility.

SUMMARY:Co-operation Live – Great Homes Upgrade
DESCRIPTION:Co-operation Live: \nThe Great Homes Upgrade\nWednesday 9 November at 6.00pm on Zoom\nBritish homes are notoriously draughty\, cold and damp with £1 in every £4 spent on heating wasted because it leaks from poorly insulated homes and\, with the cost of energy spiralling\, many families will struggle to heat their homes this winter.

Cutting bills\, cuttings emissions and protecting us from future price rises. Starting right now. \nJoin us on Zoom to hear more about the campaign and how we can all work together to achieve this.  With James Butler – Co-operative Party Campaigns Officer\, Cllr Tom Renhard – Bristol City Council and Imogen Sykes – People Powered Retrofit.  Followed by a facilitated Q&A chaired by Cllr Emma Hoddinott – Asst.
