We know that it is really hard to keep on top of all of the awareness and celebration days, weeks and months to include in the school/ workplace calendar!

We have tried to create a centralised resource to save you all time and energy.

There is a spreadsheet version which makes it more user-friendly – you can filter by month, week, day and date to see what is going on. (You could also copy and paste it alongside your school / workplace calendar or your school’s assemblies schedule to cross-reference where themes are being explored).

Note that when there is more than one theme on any given day/ week/ month we have sorted them by A-Z so that there is no perceived hierarchy. Also that when an awareness week is split across two weeks we have shifted it to the week it falls in the most.

Remember that you always have creative license to make these dates work for you, your school and your community – for example, some themes might need an awareness assembly/ training event before it falls on the calendar, others may require a celebration event following a key date. Consider how to streamline how many of the dates you want to mark so that it does not create overwhelm for staff nor students.

Do help us grow and improve the DEIB Calendar by making suggestions and giving us feedback – drop sarah@thebelongingeffect.co.uk an email with anything that is missing/ needs changing.
