Diversity Days 2022
We were delighted to be joined by the BMT team who ran a Proud To Be session for the young people, exploring stories of diversity through history. The session included poetry performances from Chloe Carterr, which then inspired the young people to write poetry about themselves.
The day also included a tour of the Palace and an opportunity to talk to members of staff about the wide variety of job roles available at Kensington Palace
“The workshop definitely made me think differently as it challenged stereotypes that people of minority groups can’t achieve status or prestigious roles in society”
Quote from one of the attendees, age 13.
We would like to thank the Historic Royal Palaces for hosting the day at Kensington Palace and the BMT team for their inspiring session.
We would also like to thank The Penny Appeal for their sponsorship and ongoing support in bringing inspiring days to young people in London.
The young people toured HMS President, took part in several practical activities and learnt about developing a career in the Royal Navy.
Navy officers shared their personal journeys into the armed forces, shared information about the diverse roles available and took part in a Q&A. The Naz Legacy Foundation will be hosting a further Diversity Day with the Royal Navy in March 2023.
We would like to thank the Royal Navy for inviting us and sharing their experiences at this enlightening visit.
On Monday 6th June, Naz Legacy celebrated the Queens Jubilee with over 40 students from across London touring RFA Mounts Bay in conjunction with the Royal Navy. The young people were able explore the ship, ask questions, and learn more about the work carried out by the Royal Navy.
Navy officers shared their journey into the armed forces, told stories and provided a unique experience for the young people. To build on this experience, the Naz Legacy Foundation will be hosting two further Diversity Days with the Royal Navy next academic year.

Students were given an introduction to the College, learning more about history of the University and student life. This was followed by a tour of the College grounds, where students were given the opportunity to see the facilities on offer.
After lunch, the young people were given an insight into subject options available to them, the decisions they need to make when choosing a course and university. The day ended with a Q&A session allowing young people the chance to ask students a variety of questions including accommodation, workload, and student finance.

To begin the day, students took part in a ‘speed dating’ session with a number of BT Sports employees to learn about the number of careers within sports broadcasting. Students had the chance to speak to Broadcasting Engineers, Head of PR, and Programme Writers. This was then followed by a tour of the studio. In the afternoon, students were split into two groups with one group building a studio, and the other creating a programme concept. The two groups then came together at the end to produce their own tv programme, recorded and presented by students.

To begin the day, students were welcomed with a talk from a Yeoman Warder in front of the Raven enclosure. Students were given a historical overview of the Tower, before getting a lesson on public speaking. Students enjoyed a visit to the Jewel House where the Crown Jewels are kept.
Visiting the Crown Jewels helped students with their next activity which was to plan and deliver an alternative tour of the Tower, paying particular attention to Britain’s colonial past and how the tour would best reflect this. After lunch, students listened to the different career paths Historic Royal Palaces have to offer. The Q&A session involved curators, the Head of IT, conservationists, and the chief exhibitor.

On Thursday 13th January, Naz Legacy hosted its first Diversity Day of 2022. Over 250 students from across England took part in a virtual event with ITN News. The session provided a space for a diverse group of young people to explore the various pathways into media & journalism and the variety of roles available within the sector and increase diversity in the field.
Students participated in an activity set by Channel 5 news correspondent Simon Vigar, whereby they were given the opportunity to report on a breaking news story. Pupils had to decide what they needed to include in preparing to report the story, and how they were going to cover the story. This was followed up by a very interactive session, delivered by the Award-winning senior producer at ITN Roohi Hasan, providing students with hints and tips on how to write a competitive job application when applying to work in the media industry. To end the session, students were given the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session with leading experts at ITN.
We would like to thank ITN for joining us and sharing their expertise at this highly engaging Diversity Day.
