Jo Verrent works as a diversity trainer, consultant and project manager in the UK cultural sector www.adainc.org Her work is about seeking to reframe the perception of diversity, through myriad events and opportunities -- speaking, training, writing, curating, researching and reporting.
Most of her work focuses on diversity and equality -- two things which she is passionate about. Not because they are just 'a good thing' or because there is a law which says people should pay attention to them, but because she thinks they are the key to transforming the way the cultural sector works.
Placing equality and diversity at the centre of arts organisations, venues, programmes and policies means that more people can become involved in work which is simply more dynamic, effective and life enhancing.
Jo is currently running PUSH ME -- a groundbreaking film project reframing the work of artists for The Space (www.pushmeplease.co.uk) and Sync -- a leadership development programme focusing on the interface between disability and leadership - www.syncleadership.co.uk.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
