"Devon Development Education is a wonderful asset to our area, amplifying the stories and messages from Black, Asian and minority ethnic people.
I have been working with DDE on events for Windrush Day and Black History Month. They have strong connections with communities and can draw on this rich network of contacts for events which are always well organised and highly enjoyable – even online. They are able to explore more difficult subjects, such as systemic racism and slavery, in a non-confrontational and informative way. I felt overwhelmed by the frustration and anger of the rising Black Lives Matter movement and I engaged Sandhya Dave, DDE Cultural Champions Co-ordinator, as a mentor to help me explore the challenges on a deeper level, test my understanding and response, and find confidence and resilience to support the movement from ‘within the system’. Sandhya is also working with the County Council on a Race Equality Audit between January and July 2021 and I know she will be a great asset to the audit team."

Jo Hooper, Corporate Equality Officer.
