ARA Conference - fringe events
With a return to a face-to-face conference in Chester this year (31st August to 2nd September) we are able to host a number of Conference Fringe events on Thursday afternoon.
The events take place between the end of the formal sessions and the drinks reception for the Gala Dinner - with plenty of time in between for delegates to get their glad rags on!

If I want to be a good ally...
Is it okay to ask where someone is from?
Should I use BIPOC, Black or Person of Colour?
Why are white people called 'privileged'?
Will someone tell me the rules?
Come and have a chat and learn to be a stronger ally. All delegates welcome.
